Background. The aim of this study was to identify the relation between vitamin D level and mineral bone density in post-menopausal women with metabolic syndrome. Materials and methods. This study included 100 post-menopausal women at age between 50 and 65 with metabolic syndrome. All participants underwent anthropometric measurements. Laboratory tests were performed to determine lipid profile, serum glucose, creatinine, C-reactive protein, vitamin D (25(OH) D), ionized calcium concentration and urine albumin / creatinine ratio. Bone mineral density of the lumbar spine (L1– L4) and total hip was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results. According to the vitamin D concentration level in the blood all women were divided into four groups: the average failure was observed in 57%, mild failure in 33%, severe failure in 5%; and only 5% of women had normal vitamin levels. The mean 25(OH) D level was 47.40  ±  16.91  nmol/l. According to bone densitometry we found that 77% of all participants had normal bone mineral density, 22% had osteopenia and 5% were diagnosed with osteoporosis. No correlation was found between bone mineral density and 25(OH)  D levels. We found a weak positive correlation between high density lipoprotein cholesterol and 25(OH) D (r = 0.3, p

Post-menopausal osteoporosis (PMO) is a multifactorial bone disorder in elderly women. Various vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene variants have been studied and associated with osteoporosis in other populations, but not in a homogenous Arab ethnic group. Herein, the current study explores the association between VDR polymorphisms and susceptibility to osteoporosis in Saudi postmenopausal women. In total, 600 Saudi postmenopausal women (N = 300 osteoporosis; N = 300 control) were genotyped for VDR gene variants (rs7975232, rs1544410, rs731236) using TaqMan® SNP genotyping assays. Bone mineral density (BMD) for the lumbar spine and femur was assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The heterozygous frequency distributions AC of rs7975232, CT of rs1544410, and AG of rs731236 were significantly higher in the osteoporosis group than controls (p < 0.05). Heterozygous AC of rs7975232 (1.6; 95% CI 1.1–2.3; p < 0.023), CT of rs1544410 (1.6; 95% CI 1.1–2.4; p < 0.022), and AG of rs731236 (1.6; 95% CI 1.1–2.4; p < 0.024) were significantly associated with increased risk of osteoporosis, independent of age and BMI. In conclusion, VDR gene variants rs7975232, rs1544410, rs731236 had a significant effect on BMD and were associated with osteoporosis risk in Saudi postmenopausal women.
