Vitamin D has been known for nearly a century its antirachitic action. Hypovitaminosis at the child leads to defect in bone mineralization related an alteration of phosphocalcic homeostasis resulting disturbance growth. The best treatment is prevention, which must be systematic. We propose, through this case-control study, determine vitamin and PTH status healthy infants with deformities lower ...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Previously we have demonstrated that hypovitaminosis D is common in the Italian population and it has a comparable deleterious effect to diabetes mellitus on survival after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Aim Here, sough evaluate if prevalence changed over time, considering also frequent lockdowns last years due C...

BACKGROUND Hypovitaminosis D is particularly common among older people with a proximal femoral (hip) fracture. There are currently no agreed strategies for vitamin D replenishment after hip fracture surgery. The REVITAHIP Study is a multisite, double-blinded randomized-controlled trial investigating the effects of an oral vitamin D loading dose on gait velocity after hip fracture surgery. We de...

OBJECTIVE Burn patients are at risk of hypovitaminosis D and osteopenia or sarcopenia. Vitamin D pleiotropic effects may influence bone and muscle health. The aim of this pilot study was to assess effects of a cholecalciferol (VD3) supplementation and an optimized calcium (Ca) regimen on vitamin D (VD) status, bone and muscle health during sequelar stage of burn injury. DESIGN Monocentric ran...

The link between vitamin D and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is intensively studied. This study aims to define the serum concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH D) and to investigate the relationship between 25-OH D status, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and body composition in postmenopausal women with T2DM and in non-diabetic controls. In this cross-sectional study, 75 women with T2DM and ...
