Dietary intake, sunlight exposure and 25-hydroxy-vitamin D levels were estimated in 62 patients admitted to a geriatric assessment unit. There was a significant correlation between vitamin D intake and 25-hydroxy-vitamin D levels but none between sunlight exposure and these. This suggests that in old age dietary deficiency may be a more important cause of metabolic bone disease than limited sunlight exposure.
对入住老年评估病房的62名患者的饮食摄入量、阳光照射量和25-羟基维生素D水平进行了评估。维生素D摄入量与25-羟基维生素D水平之间存在显著相关性,但阳光照射量与这些指标之间不存在相关性。这表明,在老年人中,饮食缺乏可能比阳光照射受限更易导致代谢性骨病。
