Abstract
Vitamin D insufficiency prevalence has been related to low bone mineral density (BMD). However, controversial results have been reported for the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and BMD. This study was done to investigate whether serum 25(OH)D levels were associated with BMD in different age group and sex link population. This study involved, aged 40-70 yr, who is consecutively selected from KPCMCH, BMD camp. BMD was measured at the lumbar spine and femoral neck. The correlation between serum 25(OH)D levels and BMD was investigated. In this study, there is significant different between healthy and patients group in vitamin D3level.BMD significantly decreased in patients group more elderly. Further studies are needed to replicate these data in larger populations and to elucidate the mechanisms involved in this association. Also, it is necessary to take supplements especially for those who have low plasma 25(OH)D levels related to SNPsmarkers of inactivating enzymes and/or vitamin D binding protein.
