维生素D缺乏症是一个全球性的流行性公共卫生问题。它在中东很常见，在女性中更为严重。这项横断面研究是为了评估生活在沙特阿拉伯利雅得的妇女维生素D缺乏症和相关的危险因素。本文测定了166例30-65岁妇女血清25-羟维生素D（25（OH）D）。收集了社会人口统计学、生活方式和健康状况特征，以及所选膳食补充剂的摄入量。测量体重和身高。60.2%的参与者报告维生素D缺乏（25（OH）D < 20 ng/mL）。血清25（OH）D的平均值为20.7 ng/mL。年龄较大和补充维生素D、多种维生素或钙被确定为与维生素D缺乏症风险较低相关的因素。需要制定国家战略来控制沙特阿拉伯的维生素D缺乏症危机。这可以通过提高公众对维生素D的认识、规范和加强维生素D强化和补充以及筛查高危妇女的维生素D状况来实现。
Vitamin D deficiency is an epidemic public health problem worldwide. It is common in the Middle East and is more severe in women. This cross-sectional study was conducted to assess vitamin D deficiency and associated risk factors in women living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) was measured in 166 women aged 30-65 years. Socio-demographic, lifestyle and health status characteristics, as well as intake of selected dietary supplements, were collected. Weight and height were measured. Vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL) was reported in 60.2% of participants. Mean of serum 25(OH)D was 20.7 ng/mL. Older age and taking the supplements of vitamin D, multi-vitamins or calcium were identified as factors that associated with a lower risk of hypovitaminosis D. A national strategy is needed to control a hypovitaminosis D crisis in Saudi Arabia. This could be accomplished by raising public awareness regarding vitamin D, regulating and enhancing vitamin D fortification and supplementation and screening vitamin D status among women at high risk.
