ABSTRACT
Introduction:
fibromyalgia (FM) is characterized by diffuse chronic muscle pain, fatigue and disability, affecting quality of life. In recent years there are many reports that show a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in different populations. In patients with FM there are conflicting results about the associations with vitamin D deficiency.Method:
Case control study matched controls by age and sex. A clinical interview, measurement of 25-OH vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus and intact PTH was measured. The definitions of the American Society of Endocrinology were used Insufficient vitamin D levels of 21-29 ng/ml and deficiency when they are less than 20 ng/ml.Results:
39 female patients were included in each group. The average age was 46.33 years (SD 10.6) in patients with FM and 45.92 years (SD 11.9) in controls. VD average levels in women with FM was 26.13 ng/ml (SD 8.3) and the controls of 28.45 ng/ml (SD 8.7) p = 0.082. No group differences were found when using cutoffs of 30 ng/dl (OR 2.75 with p = 0.35 [95 percent CI 0.96 to 8.06]) or 20 ng/dl (OR 0,6 p = 0.38 [95 percent CI 0.15 to 2.18]). No VD patients with levels below 10 ng/dl were presented.Conclusions:
We found no differences between groups in VD levels when considering the average levels of VD or using different cutoffs.
