“…The EURopean micronutrient RECommendations Aligned Network of Excellence (EURRECA) developed a scoring system to assess the quality of dietary intake validation studies [ 60 ], and our experimental design is classified as having a good quality based on those criteria. Although many of the correlation coefficients found in the present study were modest, they are within the ranges of 0.2 to 0.5 found by others [ 6 , 48 , 51 ]. Factors contributing to low correlation coefficients include imprecise assessment tools, technical errors in measuring biomarkers, biomarker daily variability, or homeostatic control, genetic background [ 61 ], and the possible disparity between the nutrient composition of the current food supply and that reported in food composition databases.…”

The Brazilian Healthy Eating Index-Revised (BHEI-R) can be used to determine overall dietary patterns. We assessed the BHEI-R scores in children and adolescents, aged from 9 to 13 years old, and associated its component scores with biomarkers of health and dietary exposure. Three 24-h recalls were used to generate BHEI-R. Biomarkers were analyzed in plasma and red blood cells. Correlation tests, agreement, and covariance analyses were used to associate BHEI-R components with biomarkers. Data from 167 subjects were used. The strongest correlations were between fruits, vegetables and legumes with omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, and β-carotene intakes. Milk and dairy correlated with plasma retinol and pyridoxine. All components rich in vegetable and animal protein sources correlated with plasma creatine. Total BHEI-R scores were positively associated with intakes of omega-6, omega-3, fiber and vitamin C, and inversely associated with energy and saturated fat intakes of individuals. Plasma β-carotene and riboflavin biomarkers were positively associated with total BHEI-R. An inadequate food consumption pattern was captured by both biomarkers of health and dietary exposure. BHEI-R was validated for the above dietary components and can be associated with metabolomics and nutritional epidemiological data in future pediatric studies.

“…Meat, eggs and legumes were also correlated with DHA. A Brazilian study conducted with adolescents also found that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid intake was positively correlated with the intake of meats and eggs ( r = 0.39) and beans ( r = 0.30) [ 51 ].…”

“…A possible limitation of this study was that most of the articles showing vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency were conducted in the Southeast and South regions of the country (63%), which can be considered a bias with respect to obtaining an overview of the country. In most of the articles included in this systematic review, women who supplemented vitamin D were excluded from the study samples [ 34 , 37 , 38 , 40 , 41 , 43 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ]. As well as not evaluating the dietary intake of vitamin D, not taking into consideration the use of supplements may be a bias in the study, as it may interfere with vitamin D metabolism [ 72 , 73 ].…”

Prevalence of Vitamin D and Calcium Deficiency and Insufficiency in Women of Childbearing Age and Associated Risk Factors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency as well as low serum calcium levels can trigger negative health outcomes in women of childbearing age. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the prevalence of serum vitamin D and calcium deficiencies and insufficiencies and associated risk factors in Brazilian women of childbearing age and to assess whether there are differences in prevalence according to regions of the country and the presence or absence of pregnancy. The systematic literature review was performed using the following databases: PubMed, LILACS, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science. Cross-sectional, cohort, and intervention studies were included. Among pregnant women, the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency ranged from 0% to 27% and of vitamin D insufficiency from 33.9% to 70.4%. Among non-pregnant women, the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency ranged from 0% to 41.7% and of vitamin D insufficiency from 38.5% to 69.3%. We found a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in women of childbearing age, with insufficiency affecting more than half of these women. The highest prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency was observed in the South region. It was not possible to assess the prevalence and factors associated with calcium deficiency.

“…Brazilian studies demonstrate a high prevalence of low vitamin D concentration in children and adolescents. [1][2][3][4] Due to its activity in human metabolism, vitamin D is also categorized as a hormone. 5,6 It acts in several metabolic pathways, such as the development of muscle mass and bones 7 and influencing the concentration of lipid fractions, 8 blood pressure, 9 and other cardiovascular factors.…”

Objective: This study aimed to verify vitamin D concentration in children and adolescents during the seasons of the year and to compare vitamin D concentration between children engaged in outdoor activities and those engaged in indoor activities. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with a sample of 708 children and adolescents (aged 6–18 years), excluding 109 (16 were over 19 years old; 39 had a disease that required continuous treatment; 20 were on continuous medication; and 34 had no vitamin D data), ending with 599. The plasma concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 was measured with commercial kits following manufacturer instructions. Results: Participants who engaged in outdoor activities, as well as those who had data collected during summer and spring, had higher levels of vitamin D. According to the Poisson regression, the proportion of participants with inadequate levels of vitamin D was greater in the participants whose vitamin D was measured during spring (PR 1.15, 95%CI 1.03–1.29) and winter (PR 1.18, 95%CI 1.05–1.32). Also, a greater proportion of inadequate vitamin D was observed for those engaged in indoor activities (PR 1.08, 95%CI 1.01–1.15). Conclusions: Participants who measured the vitamin during the summer and autumn had a lower prevalence of hypovitaminosis D. Even in regions with high solar incidence throughout the year, vitamin D levels can vary significantly during the period’s seasons.
