Abstract:
Objective To assess the nutritional status of vitamin D and associated factors among adults of six ethnic minority groups native to Yunnan Province,and provide evidence for policy making.Methods Between May 2019 and August 2020,a total of 690 adults were selected from Jinuo,Bulang,Jingpo,Deang,Achang and Pumi ethnic groups according to the sex and age composition in the 6th national census.A questionnaire survey and an anthropometric examination were conducted by trained health workers,and serum 25(OH)D levels were determined with high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.Results The median of serum 25(OH)D was 28.7(P25～P75∶24.3～33.8)ng/mL,and the prevalence of vitamin D sufficiency,insufficiency and deficiency were 44.2%、47.5%and 8.3%,respectively.There were significant differences in serum 25(OH)D levels among the six ethnic groups(χ2=139.29,P<0.01).Multivariate logistic regression showed that ethnic groups living in higher latitude areas(Pumi,Jingpo,Deang,and Achang),women,and those whose BMI≥24.0 were more likely to be vitamin D insufficient or deficient.Conclusion More than half of the ethnic adults suffer from vitamin D malnutrition which also varies across ethnicities.Further surveillance and interventions among key areas and populations are needed.
