Vitamin D Normative Values in Various Disease Conditions

Description

Objectives

Vitamin D is an evitable nutrient and affects a wide range of cellular processes. However, the normative values of vitamin D in various health conditions were less known. This study sought to establish the normative values of vitamin D in individuals with diabetes, heart problems, oral disease, and chronic conditions.

Methods

This study used data collected from the 2017-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey . Demographic characteristics such as age, gender, race, and family income level were reported. Minimum, maximum, mean and median of vitamin D were evaluated in individuals with diabetes, heart problems, oral disease, chronic conditions (meaning with one or more chronic diseases). Vitamin D was measured in nmol/L.

Results

The sample size of this study was 9,254 participants, of whom 11.6% had heart conditions, 10% had diabetes, 29.4% had oral disease, and 47.9% had one or more chronic diseases. The distribution of males and females were roughly equal. The majority of the respondents were non-Hispanic White (34%). The mean value of vitamin D in people with oral health disease was 72.2 nmol/L, 77.4 nmol/L for heart conditions, 75.5 nmol/L for diabetes, and 73.9 nmol/L for one or more chronic diseases.

Conclusion

The mean value of vitamin D was higher in people with heart conditions and lower in people with oral health diseases. These normative values provide a reference point for health care providers to track treatment outcomes.

Other Items should be submitted:

Brief 1-Sentence Abstract Summary:

Individuals with oral health diseases have relatively lower vitamin D levels than those with heart diseases, diabetes and chronic diseases.
