Link found between vitamin D deficiency and metabolic abnormalities in children: New insights unveiled MetabolitesMDPI vitaminD vd VD childrenshealth
By Vijay Kumar MalesuAug 8 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in the Metabolites Journal, researchers investigated the correlation between vitamin D deficiency and metabolic syndrome components.
Emerging research suggests an association between MetS, obesity-related conditions, and vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D affects glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, and inflammation, exhibiting correlations with hormones like leptin and adiponectin.About the study The present study included 79 children suffering from obesity, aged 14.18 ± 2.67 years on average, excluding those with endocrine-related obesity or on medication that impacts metabolic or vitamin D and calcium metabolism.
Data analysis was done using STATISTICA software, with comparisons made between Vitamin D deficient and Vitamin D sufficient groups, as well as MetS-affected and unaffected groups, based on anthropometric and biochemical parameters. A negative correlation was found between W/HtR and 25OHD levels. Age showed significant variation between groups; vitamin D levels were noticeably higher in females.
While vitamin D levels were not significantly different between the non-MetS and MetS groups, the variances of this parameter were significant, with mean levels in the deficient range for both.
