To compare the efficacy of cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol in raising 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) level in Thai female healthcare workers.
A randomized control trial was conducted in healthy female healthcare workers. Randomization allocated the participants into vitamin D2 group (N = 43), receiving ergocalciferol 20,000 IU weekly and vitamin D3 group (N = 40), receiving cholecalciferol 1000 IU daily for 12 months. Venous blood sample was collected at baseline, 6 and 12 months for serum 25(OH)D, parathyroid hormone and calcium. Compliance was also assessed.
The mean age of the participants was 50.6 ± 9.9 and 50.9 ± 8.4 years in vitamin D2 and D3 groups (P = 0.884). The mean 25(OH)D levels were 16.91 ± 6.07 ng/mL and 17.62 ± 4.39 ng/mL (P = 0.547), respectively. Both groups had significant improvement in 25(OH)D level at 6 months (from 16.91 ± 6.07 to 21.67 ± 5.11 ng/mL and 17.62 ± 4.39 to 26.03 ± 6.59 ng/mL in vitamin D2 and D3 group). Improvement was significantly greater with cholecalciferol (P = 0.018). The level plateaued afterwards in both groups. Only cholecalciferol could increase 25(OH)D in participants without vitamin D deficiency (6.88 ± 4.20 ng/mL increment). Compliance was significantly better in vitamin D2 group (P = 0.025).
Daily cholecalciferol supplementation resulted in a larger increase in serum 25(OH)D level during the first 6 months comparing to weekly ergocalciferol. While vitamin D3 could increase serum 25(OH)D level in all participants, vitamin D2 could not do so in participants without vitamin D deficiency.
比较胆钙化醇和麦角钙化醇提高泰国女性医护人员25-羟维生素D(25(OH)D)水平的疗效。
对健康女性医护人员进行一项随机对照试验。随机将参与者分为维生素D2组(N = 43),每周接受20,000 IU麦角钙化醇,以及维生素D3组(N = 40),每天接受1000 IU胆钙化醇,持续12个月。在基线、6个月和12个月时采集静脉血样,检测血清25(OH)D、甲状旁腺激素和钙。同时评估依从性。
维生素D2组和D3组参与者的平均年龄分别为50.6 ± 9.9岁和50.9 ± 8.4岁(P = 0.884)。平均25(OH)D水平分别为16.91 ± 6.07 ng/mL和17.62 ± 4.39 ng/mL(P = 0.547)。两组在6个月时25(OH)D水平均有显著改善(维生素D2组从16.91 ± 6.07 ng/mL升至21.67 ± 5.11 ng/mL,维生素D3组从17.62 ± 4.39 ng/mL升至26.03 ± 6.59 ng/mL)。胆钙化醇组的改善更为显著(P = 0.018)。之后两组水平趋于平稳。只有胆钙化醇能使无维生素D缺乏的参与者的25(OH)D升高(增加6.88 ± 4.20 ng/mL)。维生素D2组的依从性显著更好(P = 0.025)。
与每周服用麦角钙化醇相比,每日补充胆钙化醇在最初6个月内使血清25(OH)D水平升高幅度更大。虽然维生素D3能使所有参与者的血清25(OH)D水平升高,但维生素D2不能使无维生素D缺乏的参与者的血清25(OH)D水平升高。
