Abstract

The global prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is high. Poor vitamin D status, especially in women, has been reported in several countries in the Middle East despite adequate year-round sunlight for vitamin D synthesis. However, data on vitamin D status in Palestine are scarce. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate vitamin D status based on serum concentrations of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol [25-(OH)D] among young healthy Palestinian students (18-27 years) and to assess associations between 25-(OH)D concentrations and several predictors. The mean 25-(OH)D concentration of women (n 151) was 27⋅2 ± 14⋅5 nmol/l, with the majority having insufficient (31⋅1 %) or deficient (<60 %) 25-(OH)D status. Only 7 % of women achieved sufficient or optimal 25-(OH)D status. In contrast, men (n 52) had a mean 25-(OH)D concentration of 58⋅3 ± 14⋅5 nmol/l, with none classified as deficient, and most obtaining sufficient (55⋅8 %) or even optimal 25-(OH)D status (11⋅5 %). Among women, 98 % wore a hijab and 74 % regularly used sunscreen. Daily dietary vitamin D intake (3-d 24-h recalls) was 45⋅1 ± 36⋅1 IU in the total group (no sex differences). After adjustment, multiple linear regression models showed significant associations between 25-(OH)D concentrations and the use of supplements (B = 0⋅069; P = 0⋅020) and dietary vitamin D (B = 0⋅001; P = 0⋅028). In gender-stratified analysis, the association between supplement use and 25-(OH)D concentrations was significant in women (B = 0⋅076; P = 0⋅040). The vitamin D status of women in the present cohort is critical and appears to be mainly due to wearing a hijab, regular use of sunscreen and low dietary vitamin D intake. The vitamin D status of the women should be improved by taking vitamin D containing supplements or fortified foods.

巴勒斯坦健康青年学生维生素D状况及其决定因素的评估
全球维生素D缺乏症的患病率很高。据报道,在中东的几个国家,尽管全年有充足的阳光来合成维生素D,但维生素D水平较低,尤其是女性。然而,关于巴勒斯坦维生素D状况的数据很少。本横断面研究的目的是基于25-羟基胆骨化醇[25-(OH)D]的血清浓度评估年轻健康巴勒斯坦学生(18-27岁)的维生素D状态,并评估25-(OH)D浓度与几个预测因子之间的关系。女性(n 151) 25-(OH)D平均浓度为27⋅2±14⋅5 nmol/l,大多数25-(OH)D不足(31.1%)或缺乏(< 60%)。只有7%的女性达到了足够或最佳的25-(OH)D水平。相比之下,男性(n 52)的25-(OH)D平均浓度为58⋅3±14⋅5 nmol/l,没有人被列为缺乏,大多数人获得充足(55⋅8%)甚至最佳的25-(OH)D状态(11⋅5%)。在女性中,98%的人戴头巾,74%的人经常使用防晒霜。总组每日膳食维生素D摄入量(3-d - 24小时回忆)为45⋅1±36⋅1 IU(无性别差异)。调整后的多元线性回归模型显示,25-(OH)D浓度与补剂用量之间存在显著相关性(B = 0⋅069;P = 0⋅020)和膳食维生素D (B = 0⋅001;P = 0·028)。在性别分层分析中,女性补充剂使用与25-(OH)D浓度之间的相关性显著(B = 0·076;P = 0·040)。在本队列中,女性的维生素D状况至关重要,似乎主要是由于戴头巾、经常使用防晒霜和饮食中维生素D摄入量低。妇女的维生素D状况应通过服用含维生素D的补充剂或强化食品来改善。

期刊介绍: Journal of Nutritional Science is an international, peer-reviewed, online only, open access journal that welcomes high-quality research articles in all aspects of nutrition. The underlying aim of all work should be, as far as possible, to develop nutritional concepts. JNS encompasses the full spectrum of nutritional science including public health nutrition, epidemiology, dietary surveys, nutritional requirements, metabolic studies, body composition, energetics, appetite, obesity, ageing, endocrinology, immunology, neuroscience, microbiology, genetics, molecular and cellular biology and nutrigenomics. JNS welcomes Primary Research Papers, Brief Reports, Review Articles, Systematic Reviews, Workshop Reports, Letters to the Editor and Obituaries.
