Prevalence and Predictors of Low Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D among Female African-American Breast Cancer Survivors

Abstract: Considering the number of women who endorsed use of vitamin D supplementation, the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among these African-American breast cancer survivors was high. Vitamin D supplementation, sun behavior, and waist-to-hip ratio may serve as future points of intervention to improve the vitamin D status of this minority survivor population.

“…Vitamin D, present in the blood as 25‐hydroxyvitamin D 3 (25(OH)D 3 ), was shown to be associated with a reduced risk of female BC . CYP27B1 encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 family, which catalyzes the conversion of 25(OH)D 3 to 1‐alpha,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1α,25(OH) 2 D3); this then binds to the vitamin D receptor to promote bone resorption and regulate cell proliferation and differentiation .…”
