Serum vitamin D level and bone mineral density in premenopausal Egyptian women with fibromyalgia

Abstract: Patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) have impaired mobility and therefore get less sunlight exposure, we postulated that they may be at increased risk of developing osteoporosis (OP). The aim of this study was to assess and compare serum vitamin D level and bone mineral density (BMD) value in patients with primary FMS (PFMS) and healthy controls. A total of 50 patients with PFMS participated in this case-control study, and 50 healthy females who were age-matched to the patients were used as the control gr… Show more

“…The symptoms of FMS are similar to symptoms observed in vitamin D deficiency. Recently, researchers have been curious about this issue and have conducted a number of studies [5][6][7][8][9]. While there were factors that could cause confusion such as methodological differences and heterogeneous patient populations in these studies, vitamin D deficiency was reported in a considerable proportion of patients with FMS in almost every study.…”

“…Este estudo conclui que há prevalência de deficiência de vitamina D entre pacientes com fibromialgia, que serão beneficiados com suplementação de vitamina D e cálcio, além da prática de atividade física, junto com o tratamento médico para prevenir o desenvolvimento de osteoporose. 43 A síndrome da fadiga crônica presente na fibromialgia pode ser agravada pela sensibilidade ao glúten não celíaca, recentemente considerada comorbidade de ambas as condições. Nessa síndrome, há a presença de fadiga intensa e sintomas cognitivos, autonômicos, neuroendócrinos inexplicáveis nos últimos seis meses, com possível presença de sintomas gastrointestinais como critérios diagnósticos.…”
