A study conducted in the Nanning area of China aimed to establish specific reference intervals (RIs) of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D) for healthy children. The study included 6,627 children and found statistically significant differences in 25(OH)D levels based on age, season, and gender. The age-specific RIs for 25(OH)D ranged from 20.3 to 53.6 ng/mL for children aged 0-1 year and 18.9 to 49.6 ng/mL for children aged 2-3 years. The study concluded that these RIs could improve disease diagnosis and monitoring for children in the Nanning area of China. [Extracted from the article] |
