Different 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] thresholds for treatment with vitamin D supplementation have been suggested and are derived almost exclusively from observational studies. Whether other characteristics, including race/ethnicity, BMI, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), should also influence the threshold for treatment is unknown.
The aim was to identify clinical and biomarker characteristics that modify the response to vitamin D supplementation.
A total of 666 older adults in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) were randomly assigned to 16 wk of oral vitamin D3 (2000 IU/d; n = 499) or placebo (n = 167). Primary outcomes were changes in serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D] concentrations from baseline to 16 wk.
Among 666 participants randomly assigned (mean age: 72 y; 53% female; 66% racial/ethnic minority), 611 (92%) completed the study. The mean (SD) change in PTH was -3 (16) pg/mL with vitamin D3 compared with 2 (18) pg/mL with placebo (estimated mean difference: -5; 95% CI: -8, -2 pg/mL). Within the vitamin D3 group, lower baseline 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] was associated with a larger decline in PTH in a nonlinear fashion. With baseline 25(OH)D ≥30 ng/mL as the reference, 25(OH)D <20 ng/mL was associated with a larger decline in PTH with vitamin D3 supplementation (-10; 95% CI: -15, -6 pg/mL), whereas 25(OH)D of 20-30 ng/mL was not (-2; 95% CI: -6, 1 pg/mL). A segmented threshold model identified a baseline 25(OH)D concentration of 21 (95% CI: 13, 31) ng/mL as an inflection point for difference in change in PTH. Race/ethnicity, BMI, and eGFR did not modify vitamin D treatment response. There was no significant change in 1,25(OH)2D in either treatment group.
Of characteristics most commonly associated with vitamin D metabolism, only baseline 25(OH)D <20 ng/mL modified the PTH response to vitamin D supplementation, providing support from a clinical trial to use this threshold to define insufficiency. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02925195.
不同的 25-羟维生素 D [25(OH)D] 治疗阈值已被提出,并且几乎完全来自观察性研究。其他特征,包括种族/民族、BMI 和估计的肾小球滤过率 (eGFR),是否也应该影响治疗阈值尚不清楚。
本研究旨在确定能改变维生素 D 补充治疗反应的临床和生物标志物特征。
共纳入 666 名来自多民族动脉粥样硬化研究(MESA)的老年人,他们被随机分配至口服维生素 D3(2000 IU/d;n=499)或安慰剂(n=167)组,共 16 周。主要结局为血清甲状旁腺激素(PTH)和 1,25-二羟维生素 D [1,25(OH)2D] 浓度从基线到 16 周的变化。
在 666 名被随机分配的参与者(平均年龄:72 岁;53%为女性;66%为少数民族)中,611 名(92%)完成了研究。与安慰剂组相比,维生素 D3 组的 PTH 下降幅度更大,为 -3(16)pg/mL 比 2(18)pg/mL(估计平均差值:-5;95%CI:-8,-2 pg/mL)。在维生素 D3 组内,25-羟维生素 D [25(OH)D] 基线值越低,PTH 下降幅度越大,呈非线性趋势。以基线 25(OH)D≥30 ng/mL 为参考,25(OH)D<20 ng/mL 与维生素 D3 补充剂治疗时 PTH 下降幅度更大(-10;95%CI:-15,-6 pg/mL),而 25(OH)D 为 20-30 ng/mL 时则没有(-2;95%CI:-6,1 pg/mL)。分段阈值模型确定 25(OH)D 基线浓度为 21(95%CI:13,31)ng/mL 为 PTH 变化差异的拐点。种族/民族、BMI 和 eGFR 未改变维生素 D 治疗反应。两组患者的 1,25(OH)2D 均无明显变化。
在与维生素 D 代谢最相关的特征中,只有基线 25(OH)D<20 ng/mL 改变了维生素 D 补充对 PTH 的反应,这为使用该阈值来定义不足提供了临床试验依据。本研究在 clinicaltrials.gov 上注册,编号为 NCT02925195。
