Bone mineral density, metabolic syndrome, and vitamin D in indigenous from south of Brazil

Abstract: The elderly indigenous people present a high incidence of low bone mineral density, mainly in the lumbar spine, low levels of vitamin D, and a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Public health policy should also prioritize chronic degenerative diseases prevention and care for indigenous people. Healthier lifestyle in this population should be a focus for health promotion program by the governments.

“…In our analysis, baseline rates of bone disease (osteopenia or osteoporosis) did not vary by 25(OH)D level. In an indigenous, adult Brazilian population, lower 25(OH)D levels also did not predict decreased bone mineral density [ 37 ], but lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were associated with lower 25(OH)D levels. Given the known interactions of high-density lipoprotein with osteoclasts and osteoblasts [ 38 ], we assessed this relationship in our cohort, but did not find an association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and bone mineral density in the subset of participants who underwent DXA scanning (data not shown).…”

“…One study carried out only on female participants [30]. Eight studies used the criteria for diagnosing metabolic syndrome proposed by the NCEP-ATP III [30,35,36,[40][41][42][43][44]; three the criteria of the IDF [31,38,39]; ten studies used International Diabetes Federation Task Force on Epidemiology and Prevention; National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; American Heart Association; World Heart Federation; International Atherosclerosis Society; and International Association for the Study of Obesit (IDF/NHLBI/AHA/ WHF/IAS/ IASO) [26-28, 32-34, 37, 45-47]; two studies used Joint Interim Statement (JIS) [29,48]; one study used NCEP ATP III and IDF criteria [7]; one study used modified NCEP, IDF and JIS criteria for diagnosing MS [6]; and one study did not present the criteria it used for the diagnosis of MS [49].…”

“…The mean age of the study participants was 58.31 ± 9.89 years. Two studies were conducted in Saudi Arabia [37,38], and one study each from Iran [39], Brazil [40], South Korea [41], Belgium [42], and Taiwan [29]. All of these patients had been diagnosed with MetS.…”
