25-Hydroxyvitamin D Level Prediction Models – Is Further Optimization Feasible

Association between Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Level and Rheumatoid Arthritis

The objective of this study is to examine and evaluate whether serum 25(OH)D is associated with disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our results suggested that serum 25(OH)D in RA groups has significant lower level (35.99 ± 12.59 nmol/L) than that in the normal groups (54.35 ± 8.20 nmol/L, P < 0.05). Based on the DAS28, patients with RA were divided into four subgroups, ...

Determinants of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D and development of prediction models in three US cohorts.

Epidemiological and other evidence suggests that vitamin D may be protective against several chronic diseases. Assessing vitamin D status in epidemiological studies, however, is challenging given finite resources and limitations of commonly used approaches. Using multivariable linear regression, we derived predicted 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) scores based on known determinants of circulating...

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) in obese adolescents.

BACKGROUND There is increasing evidence that vitamin D deficiency is common and has been associated with several non-bone related outcomes, including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The influences of gender, puberty, and adiposity on serum hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) levels and the relationship between 25-OH-D and insulin resistance in obese children were studied....

25-Hydroxyvitamin D, cholesterol, and ultraviolet irradiation.

Vitamin D deficiency may have implications for cardiovascular health. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) to cholesterol and lipoprotein particles and to determine whether increasing 25(OH)D through ultraviolet (UV) irradiation impacted on these parameters in healthy young men and women. This was a randomized trial of 51 adults exposed to...
