Abstract

Background: Vitamin D deficiency is recognised as a pandemic in the developed world. However, the importance of prudent sun exposure tends to be overlooked, which is responsible for this pandemic.

Methods: We investigated the vitamin D status in 326 adults, 165 females and 161 males: 99 Osteoporosis patients, 53 Type 1 Diabetes patients, 51 Type 2 Diabetes patients, and 123 Athletic Healthy individuals, from Northern Greece, through the measurement of total calcidiol in winter and summer by immunoenzymatic assay.

Results: In the Whole Sample 23.31% had severe deficiency, 13.50% mild deficiency, 17.48% insufficiency, and 45.71% adequacy at the end of winter. Mean concentrations differed significantly (p <0.001) between males and females. The prevalence of deficiency in the young was significantly lower than in the middle-aged (p = 0.004) and in the elderly (p <0.001), while it was significantly lower (p = 0.014) in the middle-aged than in the elderly. The best vitamin D status was found in the Athletic Healthy individuals, followed by the Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetic patients, while Osteoporotic patients had the poorest status. The difference in mean concentrations between winter and summer was significant (p <0.001).

Conclusions: Vitamin D status deteriorated with increasing age and it was better in males than in females. Our findings suggest that outdoor physical activity in a Mediterranean country can cover the vitamin D needs of the young and the middle-aged, but not of the elderly, without the need for dietary supplements.

希腊北部骨质疏松症和糖尿病患者及健康运动个体的维生素D水平
背景:维生素D缺乏症在发达国家被认为是一种流行病。然而,谨慎的阳光照射的重要性往往被忽视,这是造成这次大流行的原因。方法:采用免疫酶法测定冬季和夏季总钙二醇含量,研究了希腊北部326名成人(165名女性和161名男性)、99名骨质疏松症患者、53名1型糖尿病患者、51名2型糖尿病患者和123名运动健康者的维生素D水平。结果:冬末重度虚证占23.31%,轻度虚证占13.50%,虚证占17.48%,充证占45.71%。结论:维生素D状态随年龄的增长而恶化,男性好于女性。我们的研究结果表明,在一个地中海国家,户外体育活动可以满足年轻人和中年人的维生素D需求,但不能满足老年人的维生素D需求,而不需要膳食补充剂。
