Abstract:
Objective To study the vitamin D nutritional status in the elderly people from organs and institutions in Jinan urban district. Methods 564 cases were available from institutions enjoying a public medical care in Qianfoshan Hospital by stratified random sampling.The subjects aged (69.5±6.5)years were divided into two groups:60-74 years and≥75 years.The [25(OH)D] levels was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).It was defined that [25(OH) D] levels ≥ 75 nmol/L was sufficient,50.0 74.9 nmol/L was critical,25.0-49.9 nmol/L were insufficient and ＜25 nmol/L was deficient.All data processing and statistical analysis were finished by SPSS13.0. Results The numbers of sufficient,critical,insufficient and deficient vitamin D in 564 subjects were 114(20.2％),180(31.9％),234(41.5％) aud 36(6.4％),in subjects aged ≥75years were 13(9.8％),36(27.3％),70(53.0％) and 13(9.8％),and in subjects aged 60-74 years were 101(23.4％),144(33.3％),164 (38.0％),23 (5.3％),respectively. There was significant difference in the vitamin D nutritional status between the two age groups (x2=19.097,P＜0.01 ).The numbers of sufficient,critical,insufficient and deficient vitamin D in the 246 male were 57 (23.2％),91(37.0％),86 (35.0％％) and 12(4.9％),in the 318 female were 57(17.9％),89 (28.0 ％ ),148(46.5 ％ ) and 24(7.5 ％ ).The percentages of insufficient and deficient vitamin D in the female were higher than in the male (x2 =11.445,P＜0.01 ). Conclusions Insufficient and deficient vitamin D nutritional states are common in the elderly people from organs and institutions in Jinan urban district and are increasing with age,especially in the female.
