Abstract

Objectives. To assess levels of 25(OH)D among adolescents with symptoms of pica in northern Sudan. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted in North Sudan. Questionaries were used to collect adolescents' sociodemographics. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure 25(OH)D level. Results. Of the 344 adolescents enrolled, 161 (46.8%) and 183 (53.2%) were male and female, respectively and 103 (29.9%) had symptoms of pica. The median (IQR) of 25(OH)D level was significantly lower in adolescents with symptoms of pica. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that while age (coefficient = 1.1, P = .023) was positively associated with 25(OH)D level, female sex (coefficient = -7.5, P < .001), and pica symptoms (coefficient = -3.5, P = .032) were negatively associated with 25(OH)D level. Conclusion. Adolescents with symptoms of pica had lower 25(OH)D levels. Adolescents with symptoms of pica have to be assessed for vitamin D status.

苏丹北部青少年学童血清中 25-羟基维生素 D 的水平与 Pica 症状：一项横断面研究

目的评估苏丹北部有偏食症状的青少年体内 25(OH)D 的水平。方法在苏丹北部进行横断面研究。调查问卷用于收集青少年的社会人口统计数据。使用酶联免疫吸附测定法测量 25(OH)D 水平。结果显示在登记的 344 名青少年中，男性和女性分别为 161 人（46.8%）和 183 人（53.2%），103 人（29.9%）有胃食症状。有偏食症状的青少年的25（OH）D水平中位数（IQR）明显较低。多元线性回归分析表明，年龄（系数=1.1，P=0.023）与25（OH）D水平呈正相关，而女性（系数=-7.5，P<0.001）和偏食症状（系数=-3.5，P=0.032）与25（OH）D水平呈负相关。结论有偏食症状的青少年的25（OH）D水平较低。有偏食症状的青少年必须接受维生素 D 状态评估。
