The High Prevalence of Vitamin D Insufficiency across Australian Populations Is Only Pa... - 1 views

    The high prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency across Australian populations is only partly explained by season and latitude. van der Mei IA, Ponsonby AL, Engelsen O, Pasco JA, McGrath JJ, Eyles DW, Blizzard L, Dwyer T, Lucas R, Jones G. Environ Health Perspect. 2007 Aug;115(8):1132-9. PMID: 17687438 doi: 10.1289/ehp.9937. Conclusion Vitamin D insufficiency is common over a wide latitude range in Australia. Season appears to be more important than latitude, but both accounted for less than one-fifth of the variation in serum 25(OH)D levels, highlighting the importance of behavioral factors. Current sun exposure guidelines do not seem to fully prevent vitamin D insufficiency, and consideration should be given to their modification or to pursuing other means to achieve vitamin D adequacy.

    "Osteoporoosin aiheuttama luun haurastuminen ja siihen liittyvät luunmurtumat ovat jo nyt kansanterveydellisesti merkittävä ongelma. Lähes puolet yli 50-vuotiaista naisista tulee loppuelämänsä aikana saamaan jonkin osteoporoottisen luunmurtuman. Suomessa arvioidaan olevan n. 400 000 osteoporoosia sairastavaa potilasta, osteoporoottisia murtumia Suomessa syntyy n. 40 000 vuosittain, näistä lonkkamurtumia on n. 8000. Lonkkamurtumien määrän ennustetaan lähes kolminkertaistuvan vuoteen 2030 mennessä. Luuta muodostetaan ja hajotetaan läpi koko elämän. Kasvukauden ajan uutta luuta muodostuu enemmin kuin hajoaa. Luut saavuttavat perintötekijöiden määräämän huippumassansas suotuisissa ympäristöolosuhteissa noin 20-vuoden iässä. Terveellä aikuisella luun määrä pysyy vakiona, jos elintavat ovat terveelliset. Vaihdevuosi-ikää lähestyttäessä luun määrä alkaa naisella vähentyä, miehilläkin luun määrä vähenee ikääntymisen myötä. Kun luuntiheys on DEXA-mittauksessa n. 25-30 prosenttia alle nuoren aikuisen keskimääräisen luuntiheyden, on diagnoosina osteoporoosi ( T-score

Take or avoid vitamin D supplements? - ImmInst.org Forums - 0 views

    "Hi! This is Amy Proal. I wrote the article referenced at the start of the thread about vitamin D. Dr. Marshall is not concerned with vitamin D toxicity. Rather his molecular modeling research has clarified the actions of the two vitamin D metabolites 25-D and 1,25-D. The Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) is a fundamental receptor of the body - it controls the expression thousands of genes, as well as the activity of the innate immune system and the antimicrobial peptides. If you think of the VDR as a switch, 25-D (which is a corticosteroid) turns it off (inactivates it) and 1,25-D turn it on (activates it). What is commonly believed among vitamin D researchers is that if people supplement with extra vitamin D it will be converted into 1,25-D and activate the VDR. Unfortunately, Marshall's work revealed that the type of vitamin D derived from supplements and sun remains, for the most part, in it's precursor form 25-D. This means that the extra vitamin D we get from fortified food products and supplements is turning the VDR off, not on. That causes a decrease in immune function and gene transcription."

    My plans to take vitamin D seemed well funded (lots of positive research these days about high vitamin D levels) and then I stumbled upon this article that promotes the views of Trevor Marshall.

Low vitamin D levels associated with several risk factors in teenagers - 0 views

    "* Low levels of vitamin D were associated with increased risk of high blood pressure, high blood sugar and metabolic syndrome in teenagers. * The highest levels of vitamin D were found in whites, the lowest levels in blacks and intermediate levels in Mexican-Americans. PALM HARBOR, Fla., March 11, 2009 - Low levels of vitamin D were associated with an increased risk of high blood pressure, high blood sugar and metabolic syndrome in teenagers, researchers reported at the American Heart Association's 49th Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention."

Vitamin D and MS - 0 views

  •  
    "This website is about Vitamin D and MS Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system (CNS), with an uncertain cause. Colleen Hayes and Donald Achaeson have suggested that insufficient sunlight exposure and chronic viral infections might be unrelated environmental risk factors for MS. These risk factors may act synergistically to enable the pathogenic autoimmune response. The prevalence of MS is highest where environmental supplies of vitamin D are lowest. Sunshine enables the production of vitamin D3 (VD3) in the skin. Epidemiological studies have shown that higher vitamin D blood levels are associated with lower risk, less relapses and a slower progression of multiple sclerosis. Higher vitamin D levels can be achieved in part by increased oral intake of VD3. Optimal health requires serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D levels higher than 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/L) P Lips, 40 ng/ml (100 nmol/L) P Heaney or at least 40 ng/ml (100 nmol/L) R Vieth. "

Kalsiumaineenvaihdunnan häiriöt - TherapiaFennica - 0 views

  •  
    Kalsiumaineenvaihdunnan häiriöt ilmenevät hyper- tai hypokalsemiana, hyperkalsiuriana tai luuston aineenvaihduntahäiriöinä (osteoporoosi, osteomalasia, riisitauti, renaalinen osteodystrofia, Pagetin tauti). Epäiltäessä kalsiumaineenvaihdunnan häiriöitä voidaan käyttää seuraavanlaisia tutkimuksia: seerumin ja virtsan kalsium, seerumin ionosoitu kalsium, seerumin fosfaatti, albumiini, alkaalinen fosfataasi ja tarvittaessa sen isoentsyymit, kreatiniini, kloridi ja PTH. PTH:sta on mahdollista määrittää intakti PTH sekä sen keskimolekyyli- ja N-terminaalifragmentti. Luun aineenvaihdunnan biokemiallisia mittareita voidaan käyttää kuvantamaan luun hajoamista ja/tai rakentumista. Luun rakentumisen seerumimarkkereita ovat osteokalsiini ja tyypin 1 prokollageenin aminoterminaalinen propeptidi (PINP). Vastaavasti luunhajoamista kuvastavat virtsan ja seerumin tyypin 1 kollageenin aminoterminaalinen telopeptidi (NTx) sekä seerumin tartraattiresistentti alkalinen fosfataasi (TRAP). Luuston tilaa voidaan selvittää röntgenologisesti natiivikuvin (destruktiot, murtumat ja valemurtumat, resorptio- ja osteoskleroosipesäkkeet). Luun mineraalipitoisuuden määrittämisessä käytetään tiheysmittareita. Koepalan otto luustosta tulee kyseeseen erikoistilanteissa histologisen diagnoosin saamiseksi. Hyperkalsemia Hyperkalsemia on monasti sattumalöydös varsin vähäoireisella epämääräisiä vaivoja valittavalla potilaalla. Tavallisimmat oireet on esitetty taulukossa 1. Tyypillinen hyperkalsemiapotilas on epämääräisistä neuropsykiatrisista oireista kärsivä henkilö. Aikaisemmin tyypilliset munuaiskivipotilaat ovat jäämässä selvään vähemmistöön. Vanhuksilla hyperkalsemia voi aiheuttaa dementian kaltaisen sekavuustilan. Mikäli S-Ca on alle 3 mmol/l, voidaan potilas tutkia rauhassa polikliinisesti. Mikäli arvo sen sijaan on selvästi yli 3 mmol/l ja se vielä nousee perättäisissä mittauksissa, on tutkimuksia kiirehdittävä. Kalsiumarvon
