- Hypovitaminosis D and Calcium Intake in Adult Population Renato Antonio Guzmán Moreno Luis Gabriel Piñeros Ricardo Aníbal Alfonso Teherán Valderrama Luis Miguel Pombo Ospina Jonth Alberth Flechas Lopez María Camila Mejía Guatibonza Medicina Calcium dietary avitaminosis bone diseases developmental Background: Daily dietary calcium intake below the requirements has been related to low levels of vitamin D (Vit-D) and osteoarticular diseases. Objective: To determine the prevalence of Vit-D deficiency in the general population living in Bogotá, its relationship to dietary calcium intake, and the influence of socio-demographic factors and sunlight exposure. Materials and methods: In a pro-spective cohort of the general population (randomly selected), excluding individuals with conditions affecting calcium absorption or adequate Vit-D action, the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D (95 % ci) and regular consumption of calcium (RCI, mg/day) is measured according to socio-demographic, anthropometric, biochemical, and sunlight exposure variables. A multiple regression model is implemented (no intercept) to predict Vit-D concentration based on the factors described. Results: Ninety-seven patients are included, 61 % of which are women, with a median age of 23 years, a weight of 65 kg (IQR: 55.2-70.5), a height of 165 cm ± 8.9, and BMI of 22.8 kg/m2 (IQR: 21.2-25.2). The RCI was 393.7 mg/day, less than the benchmark for Colombian adults (p < 0.001); serum calcium concentration was 9.7 mg/dL. The mean Vit-D concentration (95 % ci) was 23.7 ng/mL (22.6-24.7); hypovitaminosis D was identified in 87 % of the sample (80.6-94.7 %), 24.7 % were classified as poor (15.6-33.8 %) and 62.9% as insufficient (52.8-73%). Vit-D concentration was predicted in a quadratic function by the interaction between sex, sunlight exposure, and RCI (R2 > 90 %). Conclusion: The suspected high prevalence of Vit-D deficiency is confirmed in the general Colombian adult population as a result of low dietary calcium intake, demographic factors, and sunlight exposure. 2020 artículo científico 0121-5256 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=91065419003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/910/91065419003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/910/91065419003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/910/91065419003/91065419003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/910/91065419003/movil 10.18359/rmed.3321 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=910 Revista Med application/pdf Universidad Militar Nueva Granada Revista Med (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.28
