Serum vitamin D nutritional status of 0-6 years old children in Suzhou area / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the level of serum 25 (OH) D3in children in suzhou area, and to provide scientific basis for the rational supplement of vitamin D for children aged 0-6years.Methods From September2015to September 2016, 15 010children underwent routine physical examination in the Children′s Health Clinic of Suzhou Municipal Hospital were selected, of whom 7 905were male and 7 105were female.The serum 25 (OH) D3was detected by collecting their fingerling blood.Results (1) The mean serum 25 (OH) D3of15 010children aged 0to 6in Suzhou was (35.83±13.23) μg/L, and the mean serum 25 (OH) D3of male and female were (36.48±13.25) and (35.11±13.16) μg/L respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.01). (2) The mean level of serum 25 (OH) D3of 0-＜3, 3-＜6, 6-＜12, 12-＜36, 36-＜48and≥48months old children were (34.49±11.53), (41.15±13.86), (48.03±17.25), (46.12±17.69), (28.49±16.55) and (42.28±17.59) μg/L.The detection levels of serum 25 (OH) D3between the age groups were statistically significant (P＜0.05) except the children 3-＜6months and≥48months. (3) From January to December, the detection levels of serum 25 (OH) D3 were statistically significant between different months (P＜0.01) except in January, February, March and November, as well as July and August.The serum25 (OH) D3in each month was graded according to the vitamin D level, and the detection levels of serum 25 (OH) D3between different months were statistically significant (P＜0.01).The proportion of serum 25 (OH) D3over 30μg/L was less than 50％in January, March and November.The ratio ranged from 50％to 60％in February, June and December.The ratio ranged from 60％to 70％in the July, August and September, while the proportion was over 70％in April, May and October.Conclusion The level of serum 25 (OH) D3in children in Suzhou area was decreased obviously, and health education should be strengthened, and attention should be paid to intaking of vitamin D in children.
