“…In this study, vitamin D deficiency was more common in women. Some studies are compatible with our results, and some studies do not support them [33][34][35][36]. The high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in women may be related to many factors such as the style of clothing, age, sunbathing time, skin color, etc.…”

Objective This study was conducted to determine the frequency of vitamin D deficiency in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and to define the relationship between vitamin D levels and obesity, depression, and pain intensity. Methods This study was conducted with 69 patients (Male = 32, Female = 37) diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis. The participants’ 25(OH)D levels were measured by radioimmunoassay. In addition, bone metabolic status, including bone mineral density and bone turnover markers, was also evaluated. The Beck Depression Inventory was used to determine the depression statuses of the patients, while the McGill Melzack Pain Questionnaire was administered to measure pain intensity. The results were evaluated at a significance level of p<0.05. Results Vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL) was found in 76.8% of the patients. Binary logistic regression analysis showed a significantly higher frequency of vitamin D deficiency in patients who: 1) had higher body mass indexes (OR 3.197, 95% CI 1.549-6.599); 2) fared higher in Beck’s depression score (OR 1.817, 95% CI 1.027–3.217); and 3) were female rather than male (OR 1.700, 95% CI 0.931-3.224) (p<0.05). Conclusion In this study, vitamin D deficiency was prevalent in lumbar spinal stenosis patients. In addition, obese, depressed, and female individuals have higher risks of vitamin D deficiency.

“…There are studies that indicate that the consumption of high-energy foods, although unhealthy, can lead to a change in body composition, such as an increase in the BMI, which would imply good bone health, as excessive body mass increases the mechanical load, which in turn activates bone metabolism [42,44]. In contrast, some studies have indicated that excess body and abdominal adiposity are strong predictors of low vitamin D levels in the blood, a fundamental agent of bone metabolism [45,46]. Additionally, there is evidence that there are receptors in adipose tissue that cause the retention of this vitamin [47,48].…”

Objective The aim of the study was to investigate if there is an association between dietary patterns and bone mineral content among Brazilian adults. Methods This is a cross-sectional, population-based study. Bone health was assessed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. The dietary pattern was obtained using a food frequency questionnaire. An exploratory factor analysis obtained the dietary patterns. Linear regression was used for the multivariate analysis. The research was conducted with adult individuals (20-59 years old) of both sexes residing in the city of Viçosa, MG, Brazil (n=572). Results Two distinct dietary patterns were identified: a “meats and alcoholic drinks” pattern, composed of condiments, alcoholic drinks, dough-based foods, and savory snacks; and a “local traditional” pattern, composed of eggs, beans, trooper’s beans, margarine, butter, olive oil, coffee and tea, cereals, and tubers (factor loadings ≥0.20). Having verified the associations considering the confounding factors, we identified that the bone mineral content for males was positively associated with the “local traditional” dietary pattern (β=0.058; 95% CI: 0.003–0.112; p=0.036), and for females an inverse association with the “meats and alcoholic drinks” pattern was found (β=-0.057; 95% CI: -0.110 -0.003; p=0.037). Conclusion We identified a positive association between the local traditional dietary pattern and bone health.

“…Theoretical and practical training for data collection was carried out, in addition to a pilot study with eighty-four individuals, aiming to identify possible errors in the elaboration and application of the questionnaire, as well as in the protocols for anthropometric measurements and biochemical tests. Further details about the study protocol were previously described (8) .…”

Association between cytokine levels and anthropometric measurements: a population-based study

Obesity is currently considered a public health problem with pandemic proportions and is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, which can predispose to the development of several chronic diseases and metabolic complications. This cross-sectional population-based study, conducted with 743 Brazilian adults, aimed to evaluate the association between inflammatory cytokines with anthropometric measurements. Sociodemographic, anthropometric, behavioral, and biochemical variables were collected. Multiple linear regression stratified by sex and adjusted for confounding factors was performed. In men, waist circumference (WC) was associated with IL-1β (3.52pg/mL; 95%CI 0.60-6.45), IL-6 (6.35pg/mL; 95%CI 0.35-12.34), IL-8 (8.77pg/mL; 95%CI 2.37-15.17), IL-10 (3.09pg/ml; 95%CI 0.56-5.61), IL12p70 (8.31pg/ml; 95%CI 3.11-13.52), TNF-α (4.22pg/ml; 95%CI 0.20-10.48). Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) was associated with IL-6 (3.21pg/mL; 95% CI 0.02-6.39). Body mass index (BMI) was associated with IL-1β (1.50pg/mL; 95%CI 0.46-2.34), IL-6 (2.97pg/mL; 95%CI 0.78-5.16), IL-8 (4.48pg/mL; 95%CI 2.21-6.75), IL-10 (1.31pg/mL; 95%CI 0.30-2.31), IL-12p70 (3.59pg/mL; 95%CI 1.24-5.95), TNF-α (2.00pg/mL; 95%CI 0.81-3.19). In women, WC was associated with IL-6 (5.10pg/mL; 95%CI 0.68-9.51) and IL-10 (4.16pg/mL; 95%CI 1.26-7.06). BMI was associated with IL-6 (2.67pg/mL; 95%CI 0.34-4.99) and WHR was associated with TNF-α (2.84pg/mL; 95%IC 0.86-6,54). The results highlight the importance of anthropometric assessment in clinical practice and the need to develop public policies and interventions to reduce the prevalence of obesity and, consequently, of inflammation and possible metabolic complications.
