“…Studies conducted with healthy subjects found 25(OH)D deficiency at rates of 42% in America, 19 40.4% in Europe 20 and 60% in Eastern countries. 21 A meta-analysis showed that 88% of healthy individuals have 25(OH)D lower than 30 ng/mL. 22 The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in CKD patients not on dialysis has been reported between 21.5-58.3%, 15,[23][24][25] and mean 25(OH)D was determined as 18±8 ng/mL.…”

“…In an observational study of 60,979 subjects from the UAE, Haq et al found vitamin D deficiency, insufficiency, and inadequacy in 26.4%, 35%, and 21.6% of 35,066 women with serum 25(OH)D status of ≤24.9, 25–49.9, and 50–74.99 nmol/L, respectively [30]. Al Anouti et al examined 138 Emirati women aged 20.8 ± 4.0 years and found the level of mean serum 25(OH)D to be higher in summer than in winter, suggesting that seasonal variation plays a role in vitamin D status [31].…”

“…In an observational study of 60,979 residents in the UAE, Haq et al reported 18.4%, 39.9%, and 23.6% of men ( n = 25,913) with deficient, insufficient, and inadequate vitamin D status at ≤24.9, 25–49.9, and 50–74.0 nmol/L, respectively, despite year-long sunshine [30]. In a study of 70 UAE men aged 21.0 ± 4.6 years, Al Anouti et al found serum 25(OH)D to be higher in summer than in winter [31].…”

The Prevalence of Micronutrient Deficiencies and Inadequacies in the Middle East and Approaches to Interventions

Micronutrient deficiencies and inadequacies constitute a global health issue, particularly among countries in the Middle East. The objective of this review is to identify micronutrient deficits in the Middle East and to consider current and new approaches to address this problem. Based on the availability of more recent data, this review is primarily focused on countries that are in advanced nutrition transition. Prominent deficits in folate, iron, and vitamin D are noted among children/adolescents, women of childbearing age, pregnant women, and the elderly. Reports indicate that food fortification in the region is sporadic and ineffective, and the use of dietary supplements is low. Nutrition monitoring in the region is limited, and gaps in relevant information present challenges for implementing new policies and approaches to address the problem. Government-sponsored initiatives are necessary to assess current dietary intakes/patterns, support nutrition education, and to reduce food insecurity, especially among vulnerable population groups. Public–private partnerships should be considered in targeting micronutrient fortification programs and supplementation recommendations as approaches to help alleviate the burden of micronutrient deficiencies and inadequacies in the Middle East.

A Critical Evaluation of Vitamin D - Basic Overview

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Vitamin D is a kind of steroid hormone and is well known for its important role in regulating the levels of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) as well as in mineralization of bone in body. But the vitamin D signaling also exhibits multiple effects, such as anti-inflammation effects, anticancer effect, and cardiovascular-and kidney-protective effects. From a practical point of view, vitamin D deficiency participates in many pathological progressions and diseases. In some diseases, the administration of vitamin D or vitamin D receptor agonist (VDRA) could rescue the clinical symptoms and improve outcomes. In this review, we briefly deal with these topics, limiting ourselves to comment on some novelty studies about vitamin D signaling, which might help us to understand the multiple effects of vitamin D in some pathological progresses and diseases, which are all worth to be studied further.
