Optimal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels for multiple health outcomes.
Recent evidence suggests that higher vitamin D intakes beyond current recommendations may be associated with better health outcomes. In this chapter, evidence is summarized from different studies that evaluate threshold levels for serum 25(OH)D levels in relation to bone mineral density (BMD), lower extremity function, dental health, risk of falls, admission to nursing home, fractures, cancer p...
متن کاملSerum 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....
متن کاملHip Fractures and Bone Mineral Density in the Elderly—Importance of Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D
BACKGROUND The significance of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations for hip fracture risk of the elderly is still uncertain. Difficulties reaching both frail and healthy elderly people in randomized controlled trials or large cohort studies may in part explain discordant findings. We determined hazard ratios for hip fractures of elderly men and women related to serum 25(OH)D, incl...
متن کاملAssociation of low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and high arterial blood pressure in the elderly.
BACKGROUND Vitamin D and calcium metabolism are involved in vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, endothelial function and blood pressure (BP) regulation. Their physiopathology has been a matter of intensive clinical investigation with variable and sometimes contradictory results. Vitamin D insufficiency is highly prevalent in the general population, particularly among the elderly. We eval...
متن کاملSerum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and elderly skeletal muscle mass and function in urban north China.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To investigate the association of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) with skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and function among the elderly in an urban area in northern China. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN A total of 912 participants (316 men, 596 women) aged more than 60 years from 4 communities in Beijing were enrolled. Serum concentrations of 25(OH)D were measured through rad...
