Investigate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in an equatorial population through a large-sample study.
Cross-sectional study with 30,224 healthy individuals from the North Region, in Brazil (Amazônia - state of Pará), who had 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25(OH)D) and intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) serum levels measured by immunoassay method. Those with history of acute or chronic diseases were excluded. Abnormal levels of calcium, creatinine, glycemia and albumin were also exclusion criteria.
25(OH)D levels were 29.1 ± 8.2 ng/mL and values <12.7 ng/mL were equal to < -2 s.d. below average. Hypovitaminosis D was present in 10% of subjects according to the Institute of Medicine (values <20 ng/mL) and in 59%, in consonance with Endocrine Society (values 20-30 ng/mL as insufficiency and <20 ng/mL as deficiency) criteria. Individuals were divided according to four age brackets: children, adolescents, adults and elderly, and their 25(OH)D levels were: 33 ± 9; 28.5 ± 7.4; 28.3 ± 7.7; 29.3 ± 8.5 ng/mL, respectively. All groups differed in 25(OH)D, except adolescents vs adults. Regression model showed BMI, sex, living zone (urban or rural) and age as independent variables to 25(OH)D levels. Comparing subjects with vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL) to those with vitamin D insufficiency (20-30 ng/mL), a difference between PTH levels in these two groups was observed (95.9 ± 24.7 pg/mL vs 44.2 ± 64.5 pg/mL; P < 0.01). Additionally, the most accurate predictive vitamin D level for subclinical hyperparathyroidism in ROC curve was 26 ng/mL.
Our equatorial population showed low prevalence of vitamin D hypovitaminosis ranging with age bracket. The insufficient category by Endocrine Society was corroborated by our PTH data.
通过一项大样本研究调查赤道地区人群维生素D缺乏症的患病率。
对来自巴西北部地区(亚马孙州帕拉州)的30224名健康个体进行横断面研究,通过免疫分析法测量其血清25-羟维生素D(25(OH)D)和完整甲状旁腺激素(PTH)水平。排除有急慢性疾病史的个体。钙、肌酐、血糖和白蛋白水平异常也作为排除标准。
25(OH)D水平为29.1±8.2 ng/mL,<12.7 ng/mL的值相当于低于平均值2个标准差。根据医学研究所的标准(值<20 ng/mL),10%的受试者存在维生素D缺乏症;根据内分泌学会的标准(值20 - 30 ng/mL为不足,<20 ng/mL为缺乏),59%的受试者存在维生素D缺乏症。个体按四个年龄组划分:儿童、青少年、成年人和老年人,他们的25(OH)D水平分别为:33±9;28.5±7.4;28.3±7.7;29.3±8.5 ng/mL。除青少年与成年人外,所有组的25(OH)D水平均有差异。回归模型显示体重指数、性别、居住区域(城市或农村)和年龄是25(OH)D水平的独立变量。将维生素D缺乏(<20 ng/mL)的受试者与维生素D不足(20 - 30 ng/mL)的受试者进行比较,观察到这两组的PTH水平存在差异(95.9±24.7 pg/mL对44.2±64.5 pg/mL;P<0.01)。此外,ROC曲线中预测亚临床甲状旁腺功能亢进最准确的维生素D水平为26 ng/mL。
我们的赤道地区人群中维生素D缺乏症的患病率随年龄组不同而较低。我们的PTH数据证实了内分泌学会的不足类别标准。
