Vitamin D Deficiency and Risk of Metabolic Syndrome in Aging Men

Patrizia D'Amelio

Abstract: The elderly population is rapidly increasing; hence, the disability due to age-related diseases has become an important socioeconomic burden. Amongst age-related diseases cardiovascular ones (CVD) have a huge impact on morbidity and mortality and are associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Several studies investigated the role of hypovitaminosis D in the pathogenesis of MetS and of CVD, this review unravels the relationship between aging/senescence, vitamin D, gender, and pathogenesis of MetS.

“…Individuals with vitamin D deficiency appear to be more susceptible to CVD and are significantly at risk for CVD [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. In healthy adults, vitamin D deficiency and low 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 levels are associated with increased arterial stiffness and vascular endothelial dysfunction, which are both predictors of CVD morbidity and mortality [ 21 ].…”

“…Insulin resistance is one of the disorders included in this syndrome's etiopathology [ 1 ]. A reduced level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is known to be a predictor of MetS [ 2 ]. Low concentrations of plasma vitamin D have been reported in individuals diagnosed with alterations in components that define MetS, such as central obesity (waist circumference [WC]), hypertension, hyperglycemia, elevated serum triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol levels, and reduced high-density lipoproteins (HDL-c) levels [ 3 , 4 ].…”
