ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To determine vitamin D (25OHD) status and its relationship with bone mineral density (BMD) in 93 postmenopausal women. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Patients were distributed in two groups: Group 1 - 51 to 65 years (n = 45) and Group 2 - 66 to 84 years (n = 48); 25OHD and PTH serum were analyzed and a DXA scan of the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) were taken. RESULTS: Mean ± SD of serum 25OHD levels were 80.6 ± 43.3 nmol/L (Group 1) and 63.7 ± 27.6 nmol/L (Group 2); 24 percent had 25OHD levels < 25 nmol/L and 43.7 percent < 50 nmol/L. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency at the 62.5 nmol/L cutoff increased significantly with age. Patients with hypovitaminosis D had a lower BMD at the FN (0.738 ± 0.102 vs. 0.793 ± 0.115 g/cm, p = 0.03) and had been postmenopausal for longer (21.0 ± 8.4 vs. 16.2 ± 8.4 years, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION: We found a high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in postmenopausal women. Age, years elapsed since menopause and low BMD in the FN were associated with deficiency.


OBJETIVO: Determinar o perfil da vitamina D (25OHD) e sua relação com a densidade mineral óssea (DMO) em 93 mulheres na pós-menopausa. SUJEITOS E MÉTODOS: As pacientes foram distribuídas em dois grupos: grupo 1 - 51 a 65 anos (45 pacientes) e 2 - 66 a 84 anos (48 pacientes); foram analisados 25OHD e PTH séricos e realizou-se exame de DXA em coluna lombar (LS) e colo do fêmur (FN). RESULTADOS: As médias ± desvio-padrão (DP) dos níveis de 25OHD foram 80,6 ± 43,3 nmol/L (grupo 1) e 63,7 ± 27,6 nmol/L (grupo 2); 24 por cento tinham 25OHD < 25 nmol/L e 43,7 por cento, < 50 nmol/L. A prevalência de deficiência de 25OHD, considerando 62,5 nmol/L como ponto de corte, aumentou significativamente com a idade. Pacientes com hipovitaminose D tinham uma menor DMO no FN (0,738 ± 0,102 vs. 0,793 ± 0,115 g/cm², p = 0,03) e maior tempo de pós-menopausa (21,0 ± 8,4 vs. 16,2 ± 8,4 anos, p = 0,01). CONCLUSÃO: Encontrou-se alta prevalência de hipovitaminose D em mulheres na pós-menopausa. Idade, anos desde a menopausa e baixa DMO no FN estavam associados à deficiência.
