Vitamin D status and its relationship with bone mineral density in a healthy Iranian population

Abstract: ObjectivesConsidering the controversial results regarding the relationship between vitamin D levels and bone mineral density in different populations, the present study was designed to evaluate this correlation in a healthy Iranian population.MethodsUsing a random cluster sample of apparently healthy men and women, this multicenter cross-sectional study was carried out among 4450 individuals living in urban areas of five major cities in Iran. Bone mineral density (BMD) values at different sites were analyzed a… Show more

“…However, data on SAA and postmenopausal osteoporosis are insufficient. As far as we know, there is only one study and it did not consider the association between SAA level and BMD [ 26 ].In contrast to our results, there are some reports in favor of the association between BMD and serum vitamin D [ 8 , 9 , 36 ] or hs-CRP [ 37 ] in osteoporosis, but the data are inadequate with respect to postmenopausal osteoporosis.To sum up, it is difficult to confirm the protective role of vitamin D (alone) and its immune-regulatory mechanism of action in osteoporosis and its related conditions, due to diversity in studies and contradictive results. These differences might have been influenced by several factors.…”

“…Moreira et al evaluated healthy men in Brazil and authors found a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and its relation to increased osteoporosis (28). Khashayar et al reported significant correlation of vitamin D deficiency and BMD in healthy Iranian men (29). Sundh et al emphasized that serum vitamin D is associated with higher cortical porosity in elderly men (30).…”

“…Roux et al described a positive association between 25(OH)D and L-BMD or femoral neck BMD in postmenopausal women treated with ALN 19. In Malaysian RA female patients, serum 25(OH)D levels were low compared with those in healthy controls, with no associations between 25(OH)D and BMD,20 while a negative relationship was identified between 25(OH)D levels and BMD in both sexes in a healthy Iranian population 21. In Palestinian postmenopausal OP patients, a positive correlation was reported between 25(OH)D and L-BMD 22.…”
