The vitamin D state of 60 apparently healthy adult Hindu Asian couples living in Britain was studied on a community basis. Twenty six (22%) of the Asian subjects had pronounced vitamin D deficiency, defined as 25-hydroxycholecalciferol concentrations below 10 nmol/l (4 ng/ml), while none of the white controls had such low concentrations. Asian men and women were equally affected, and plasma concentrations were similar in husbands and wives. Vitamin supplements were being taken by only 31 (26%) subjects, most of whom were women. It is suggested that the spouses of patients with osteomalacia should be screened for vitamin D deficiency.
在社区基础上对居住在英国的60对看似健康的成年印度裔亚洲夫妇的维生素D状况进行了研究。26名(22%)亚洲受试者存在明显的维生素D缺乏,定义为25-羟胆钙化醇浓度低于10 nmol/L(4 ng/ml),而白人对照组中无人有如此低的浓度。亚洲男性和女性受影响程度相同,夫妻的血浆浓度相似。只有31名(26%)受试者服用维生素补充剂,其中大多数是女性。建议对骨软化症患者的配偶进行维生素D缺乏筛查。
