Background Reported cases of vitamin D3 deficiency have been increasing in incidence worldwide. Although there is a lack of consensus relating to optimal levels of vitamin D, generally serum 25-(OH)D concentrations lower than 50 nmol/L (20 ng/mL) are at least considered to be detrimental to bone health. Aim Aim of this systematic review is to investigate if occupations, and specifically shiftworking and indoor working, may be considered as possible contributors to the increased incidence of vitamin D3 deficiency in industrialized nations. Materials and Methods Systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement using PubMed, Scopus, and ISI Web of Knowledge databases. Results Overall 90 papers were found, 23 articles through PubMed, 30 through Scopus, and 37 through ISI Web of Knowledge. Successively, 46 duplicates and 34 articles that did not respect the inclusion criteria were excluded. Finally 10 articles were selected: 9 cross-sectional studies and 1 systematic review. Results of the studies included revealed that certain occupations are either suffering from, or have a predilection to suffer from, a deficiency of this vitamin. Shiftworkers and indoor workers are consistently reported as being the occupational group most likely to suffer from a deficiency of vitamin D3. It would appear prudent to investigate the potential of providing nutritional education to workers in addition to including preventative measures in the workplace.

The year 2013 was again a very active year in the vitamin D field. The selection of papers discussed here focus on vitamin D intake, fortification, supplements, and vitamin D status and its associations with diseases and health. Here, we discuss several of the papers in the context of methodological challenges and gaps in current knowledge. (1) , the Endocrine Society (4) and the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (5) . The paper by Oliveira et al. (6) used a cut-off of #25 nmol/l to assess deficiency (7) whereas Wallingford et al. (8) and Golbahar et al. (9) reported vitamin D deficiency as serum 25(OH)D , 30 nmol/l (risk for bone health) in line with the Institute of Medicine recommendations (1) . Other papers separated vitamin D status into quartiles (10) and tertiles (11) , which may be valid for their research but hinders overall assessment of vitamin D status against established cut-offs.

“…For vitamin D to become biologically active, it must first be hydroxylated in the liver to 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D), which is the metabolite used to assess a subject's vitamin D status, and then in the kidneys to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-(OH) 2 -D), which is its active form [1]. Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide public health problem related to skeletal and non-skeletal problems [2] due to nutritional deficits, liver and/or kidney failure, resistance to the action of vitamin D [3], and a low exposure to sunlight and the use of sunscreen [4]. Likewise, the theory that genetics has an impact on vitamin D deficiency is gaining strength [5].…”

Association between Body Fatness and Vitamin D3 Status in a Postmenopausal Population

et al. 2020

Vitamin D is a micronutrient that plays a key role in phosphocalcic metabolism. The postmenopausal population presents a risk of deficiency in this vitamin due to hormonal alterations which, in the case of obesity, would be exacerbated. The objective was to assess the status of vitamin D in a postmenopausal population and determine the relationship of 25-hydroxivitamin D [25(OH)D] and its metabolites with anthropometric parameters. The study included 78 healthy postmenopausal women aged from 44 to 76. The nutrient intake assessment was carried out using the 24 h reminder (R24h). 25(OH)D was analyzed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC). A total of 80% and 68% of the women studied did not reach sufficient values of 25(OH)D and 25-hydroxivitamin D 3 [25(OH)D 3 ], respectively, which was inversely correlated with Body Mass Index (BMI) (r = −0.25, p = 0.04), hip perimeter (r = −0.26 and r = −0.24, all p < 0.05), arm circumference (r = −0.29, p = 0.01) and fat mass (r = −0.28 and r = −0.26, all p < 0.05). 25(OH)D 3 is the metabolite that contributed most to this association. In conclusion, 25(OH)D 3 levels are related to anthropometric parameters in the postmenopausal women in this study, confirming insufficient status in the majority of the population. Approach strategies are necessary to correct and avoid this risk in order to ensure future quality of life.
