INTRODUCTION
Vitamin D deficiency has been found to be prevalent among Indian elderly women. Aging has a significant association with decreased concentration of 7-dehydrocholesterol, the precursor of Vitamin D3 in the skin.
OBJECTIVE
The aim is to find out the association between the period of sun exposure and serum 25(OH) D level among rural elderly women of West Bengal, India.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS
The present study was conducted among 236 elderly women aged between 60 and 70 years residing at Amdanga Block, North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, India. They were assessed for their period of sun exposure and serum 25(OH) D level.
RESULTS
The sun exposure index was low from sufficient to deficient Vitamin D status groups, but they were insignificant ( = 0.09). Spearman's correlation test revealed significant positive relationship (0.183 [P = 0.005]) between sun exposure and serum 25(OH) D level.
CONCLUSION
Therefore, for maintaining optimum serum 25(OH) D level, adequate sun exposure for this population is needed, particularly for the individuals having suboptimal Vitamin D status.
引言
研究发现维生素D缺乏在印度老年女性中普遍存在。衰老与皮肤中维生素D3的前体7-脱氢胆固醇浓度降低有显著关联。
目的
旨在探究印度西孟加拉邦农村老年女性的日晒时长与血清25(OH)D水平之间的关联。
研究对象与方法
本研究在印度西孟加拉邦北24帕根那斯区阿姆丹加街区居住的236名年龄在60至70岁之间的老年女性中进行。对她们的日晒时长和血清25(OH)D水平进行了评估。
结果
从维生素D充足到缺乏状态组，日晒指数均较低，但差异无统计学意义（P = 0.09）。Spearman相关性检验显示，日晒与血清25(OH)D水平之间存在显著正相关（0.183 [P = 0.005]）。
结论
因此，为维持最佳血清25(OH)D水平，该人群需要充足的日晒，尤其是维生素D状态欠佳的个体。
