|
|
Objectives: Definition of vitamin D insufficiency in Asian people could be different from that of Caucasian because of the racial differences. We planned to analyze serum 25(OH)D and PTH levels according to age in Korean women who visited one of the general hospital in Seoul.
Methods: The subjects were classified to four groups, 40~49, 50~59, 60~69, 70~79 by ages and evaluated age, BMI, Lipid profile, bone turnover markers, serum 25(OH)D, and PTH in each groups.
Results: Serum 25(OH)D level was increased from 40~49 to 70~79, especially between 60~69 and 70~79 groups by statistical significances. And the results showed decline of serum PTH from 40~49 to 70~79, especially among 50~59, 60~69, and 70~79 groups by statistical significances. In 70~80 percentile of the subjects, serum 25(OH)D level pointed at 24ng/mL.
Conclusion: The average serum 25(OH)D level in Korean women was lower than that of Caucasian people. And higher dose of vitamin D could be considered to the elderly Korean women.
