Vitamin D status of Inuit preschoolers reflects season and vitamin D intake.
Rickets ascribed to hypovitaminosis D remains a public health concern among Aboriginal children in Canada and the United States. Our primary objective in this study was to investigate the prevalence and risk factors (gender, age, vitamin D intake, and socioeconomic status) for low vitamin D status of Inuit preschoolers living in 16 Arctic communities (51(o)N-70(o)N) and participating in the 200...
متن کاملVitamin D status in Montréal preschoolers is satisfactory despite low vitamin D intake.
The 2007 to 2009 Canadian Health Measures Survey reported vitamin D status in a representative sample of Canadians (6-79 y); however, children <6 y were not assessed. Our objective was to measure vitamin D intake from food and supplements, sun exposure, and biological vitamin D status of children ages 2 through 5 y in Montréal (latitude 45°N). Preschoolers (n = 508) were recruited between June ...
متن کاملVitamin D intake and vitamin D status of Australians.
The main source of vitamin D for Australians is exposure to sunlight. Thus, levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3), the indicator of vitamin D status, vary according to the season and are lower at the end of winter. In Australia and New Zealand, the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency varies, but is acknowledged to be much higher than previously thought. One study found marginal deficiency in 23...
متن کاملVitamin D intake and vitamin
1. The metabolism of radioactive vitamin D, has been studied in individuals low or deficient in vitamin D (group I) and in vitamin D treated subjects (group 11). 2. In group I there was a smaller serum pool of vitamin D, turning over more rapidly than in group 11. The principal metabolite, peak IV, appeared more rapidly in the serum of group I ; the level of radioactivity attained in this and i...
متن کاملThe variation in free 25-hydroxy vitamin D and vitamin D-binding protein with season and vitamin D status
PURPOSE Serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] varies greatly with season at northern latitudes. The purpose of this study was to determine if the seasonal variations in serum total 25(OH)D are followed by a concomitant variation in free 25(OH)D or if the variation is damped by alterations in the binding capacity of DBP. METHODS Serum was collected from 540 healthy blood donors (60% men; mean a...
