| Popis: | Objective: Investigate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in an equatorial population through a large-sample study. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 30,224 healthy individuals from the North Region, in Brazil (Amazônia – state of Pará), who had 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25(OH)D) and intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) serum levels measured by immunoassay method. Those with history of acute or chronic diseases were excluded. Abnormal levels of calcium, creatinine, glycemia and albumin were also exclusion criteria. Results: 25(OH)D levels were 29.1 ± 8.2 ng/mL and values s.d. below average. Hypovitaminosis D was present in 10% of subjects according to the Institute of Medicine (values P Conclusion: Our equatorial population showed low prevalence of vitamin D hypovitaminosis ranging with age bracket. The insufficient category by Endocrine Society was corroborated by our PTH data. |
