Abstract:
Objective To investigate and evaluate the nutrition status in serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D[25(OH)D]levels of 0～12 years old children in Xi'an.Methods A total of 2 670 patients aged 0～12 years old who underwent routine physical examinations in Children's Health Department of the Second Hospital of Air Force Medical University were selected from March 2020 to July 2023,and the 25(OH)D data of these patients were conducted in retrospective analysis.The nutritional status of vitamin D in these children of different genders,ages and seasons were also analyzed.Results ①This study included 2 670 children aged 0～12 years old in Xi'an,with the average level of serum 25(OH)D was 40.80±18.00 ng/ml.Among them,38 cases(1.42%)had serum 25(OH)D deficiency,333 cases(12.47%)had serum 25(OH)D insufficience,and 2 299 cases(86.11%)had sufficient serum 25(OH)D.②There was a statistically significant difference in serum 25(OH)D levels among different age groups(H=1 524.23,P=0.000).The group aged 1～<4 has the highest value of 52.51±13.57 ng/ml,while the group aged 8～12 has the lowest value of 21.65±6.75 ng/ml.③The levels of serum 25(OH)D in summer(39.44±17.46 ng/ml)were lower than those in spring(41.96±17.76 ng/ml)and autumn(42.71±18.15 ng/ml),with statistical significant differences(Z=101.57,-134.06,all P<0.01).However,the deficiency and inadequate rate of serum 25(OH)D in winter(18.95%)was higher than those in spring,summer and autumn(13.52%,12.75%,12.36%),with statistical significant differences(χ2=14.32,P=0.026).④There was no statistically significant difference in serum 25(OH)D levels between genders(H=0.933,P=0.351).However,the deficiency and inadequate rate of serum 25(OH)D in boys(12.51%)was lower than that in girls(15.46%),and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=9.257,P=0.010).Conclusion The nutritional status of serum 25(OH)D in children aged 0～12 years in Xi'an area is comparatively fine,and it is necessary to strengthen the intake and supplementation of vitamin D in over 3 years old children.
