Abstract

Objective: Vitamin D deficiency is a common public health issue worldwide. The purpose of this study was to investigate the vitamin D status and its potential determinants in children residing in Sardinia (40°N), Italy.

Methods: Children were enrolled over a 12-month period. Serum 25(OH)D was measured by an immunochemiluminescence assay. A questionnaire was used to gather information on other variables, including passive smoke exposure.

Results: A total of 182 children (males: 51.7%; median age: 9 years) were included. Mean±standard deviation serum 25(OH)D was 25.2±8.3 ng/mL for the whole group. The majority (n=123, 67.6%) had vitamin D sufficient values >20 ng/mL, while 32.4% (n=59) had vitamin D insufficient/deficient values (≤20 ng/mL). Among the variables investigated, passive smoke exposure was significantly associated with insufficient 25(OH)D levels (p<0.0001).

Conclusion: Our results confirm that hypovitaminosis D is common in Italian children. Furthermore, passive smoke exposure was identified as a significant risk factor for hypovitaminosis D.

意大利儿科队列中的维生素 D 状态：吸烟是否有影响？

引言维生素 D 缺乏症是全球常见的公共卫生问题。本研究旨在调查意大利撒丁岛（北纬 40°）儿童的维生素 D 状况及其潜在决定因素：共招募了 182 名儿童（男性：51.7%；年龄中位数：9 岁），为期 12 个月。血清 25（OH）D 通过免疫-化学发光测定法进行测量。调查问卷用于收集包括被动吸烟在内的其他变量信息：全组平均（标清）血清 25（OH）D 为 25.2（8.3）纳克/毫升。大多数儿童（人数=123，占67.6%）的维生素D充足值大于20纳克/毫升，而约1/3的儿童维生素D不足/缺乏值（小于20纳克/毫升，人数=59，占32.4%）。在所调查的变量中，被动吸烟与 25（OH）D 水平不足显著相关（p 结论：我们的研究结果进一步证明，维生素 D 不足在意大利儿童中很常见，并证明被动吸烟是导致维生素 D 不足的一个重要风险因素。
