The Impact

Diabetes is one of the commonest chronic diseases worldwide. Vitamin D deficiency showed to be increasing, and have a potential role in autoimmune diseases among which in type 1 diabetes. The aim The aim of the study was to assess the impact of oral vitamin D supplementation on blood glucose (HbA1C) in T1DM patients and to find out the role of vitamin D as a biomarker for follow of T1DM patients compared to HbA1C. Subjects and methods: A randomized interventional clinical study was designed. The study enrolled 60 children patients with T1DM. Only 45 children continued to the end of study. Initial (pre-intake) assessment included history taking, clinical examination, and measurement of serum 25-OH vitamin D3 and serum HbA1C. These children received oral vitamin D supplements for 3 months then post-intake assessment were done again. Results: The study showed that serum vitamin D was deficient among Egyptian children and adolescents with T1DM (mean 11.4±3.4 ng/ml). , 53.33% of the patients had vitamin D deficiency with a 35.6% had insufficiency and 11.11% were VD sufficient. Patients received oral vitamin D supplementation for 3 months after which marked improvement in the levels of serum vitamin D levels and HA1C, 87.5% and 86.5% respectively.

The Relationship

As the relationship between vitamin D and various diseases or health conditions has become known, interest in the contribution of vitamin D to overall health-related quality of life (QoL) has increased. We examined the relationship between vitamin D status and QoL in 273 participants aged 65 years and older. Serum levels of total calcium, phosphorus, intact parathyroid hormone, albumin, and 25-hydroxyvitaminD3 were analyzed. We also recruited data for QoL, physical activity, nutritional impairment, and muscular strength. Ninety percent of the subjects were classified as vitamin D deficient or insufficient. Participants with higher serum 25(OH)D3, calcium, phosphorous, and Alb levels were significantly less likely to self-report depression or anxiety after adjustment (p = 0.009, p = 0.005, p = 0.003, and p = 0.005, respectively). Additionally, we found an association between lower levels of albumin and self-reported problems with mobility or usual activities (p = 0.01). We also found associations between better muscle strength and higher levels of vitamin D, calcium, phosphorous, and albumin (p = 0.006, p = 0.003, p = 0.004 and p = 0.002, respectively). Overall, our data provide evidence that serum vitamin D and Alb levels are negatively related to self-reported anxiety or depression, usual activities, mobility, and three dimensions of QoL in older adults. Furthermore, vitamin D levels are positively related to hand grip strength in adults over 65 years old.

Objectives: Aim of the study was investigating the effect of serum vitamin D levels on health-related quality of life in hemodialysis patients. Method: One-hundred and twenty-three maintenance hemodialysis patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Patients divided into 2 groups according to serum vitamin D levels. A serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH] D) level of < 20 ng/mL was identified as vitamin D deficiency (n = 78), and a serum level of ≥20 ng/mL was identified as normal (n = 45). Kidney Disease Quality of Life 36 (KDQOL-36) survey was used for quality of life measurement. Scores of the all of 5 subscales of KDQOL-36 were calculated. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to define independent risk factors affecting the survey. Results: Mean age of patients was 62 and 56% of patients were male. Mean 25(OH) D levels were 11.86 and 29.57 ng/mL, respectively, in 2 groups. There was statistically significant difference between age and Kt/V levels between 2 groups (p = 0.008 and p = 0.041). Age and gender were found as significant predictors of vitamin D deficiency (p = 0.026 and p = 0.021). In symptom and problem list subscale, gender and comorbidity were detected as independent risk factors (p = 0.050 and p = 0.032). Comorbidity was the only independent risk factor for effect of kidney disease subscale (p < 0.001). Independent risk factors associated with burden of kidney disease subscale were comorbidity and serum 25 (OH) D levels (p = 0.003 and p = 0.023). Serum 25(OH) D, gender, and comorbidity were independently associated with physical component summary (PCS) subscale (p < 0.001, p = 0.008, and p = 0.011). The only independently associated factor with mental component summary (MCS) was serum 25(OH) D (p < 0.001). Conclusion: We first showed the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and KDQOL-36 in hemodialysis patients. Lower serum vitamin D levels were negatively associated with burden of kidney disease, PCS, and MCS subscales.

Introduction Vitamin D deficiency is associated with various diseases. Prevalent in Brazil, it can result from inadequate lifestyle habits. Objective To demonstrate that postmenopausal women with vitamin D deficiency have worse quality of health, expressed as worse quality of life, lower levels of physical activity, and worse nutritional profile. Methods Postmenopausal women answered questionnaires about physical activity and quality of life, provided a 24-hour food record, and had serum vitamin D levels measured. Results Among the more active women, those who perform a daily average of one hour of physical activity had vitamin D levels above 20 ng/mL (76.9%), and those, which expose themselves to sunlight, had vitamin D levels above 30 ng/mL (34.6%). Meanwhile the percentages for the women who are less physically active and less exposed to sunlight were 42.2% and 8.9% respectively. Being more active and more exposed to sunlight resulted in a lower fat percentage. Serum vitamin D levels were not correlated with quality of life. Conclusion Walking and gardening increased serum vitamin D levels and decreased the percentage of body fat. The limitations of the study prevented the impact of 25-hidroxyvitamin D on the quality of life and nutritional aspects of the women from being evaluated.

Vitamin D Supplementation

Background: Vitamin D has several roles, namely physiological function of calcium and bone metabolism, cell growth and differentiation, immune and cardiovascular function. Vitamin D deficiency can cause the risk of cancer. Head and neck cancer is one of the cancers that occur due to vitamin D deficiency in the body. This literature review was to asses and evaluate the impact and benefits of vitamin D supplementation for head and neck cancer.Discussion: A study found an association between vitamin D supplementation and a low risk of recurrence in conditions of high total vitamin D levels. Another study found a significant increase in quality of life (QOL). The primary mechanism of vitamin D action is mediated through binding of either 1,25(OH)2D3 (active form) or 25(OH)D (less active form) to the VDR, which is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of steroid and thyroid hormones with gene-regulatory and consequent anti-proliferative properties.Conclusions: Vitamin D supplementation provides a role in improving the condition of patients with head and neck cancer. Both in terms of suppressing recurrence and in terms of increasing quality of life

  THE CORRELATION BETWEEN VITAMIN D SERUM LEVELS WITH QUALITY OF LIFE IN EPILEPSY PATIENTABSTRACTIntroduction: Epilepsy affects overall health status and decreases the life quality of epilepsy patient. Seizure frequency, seizure type, daily activity disorder, depression and anxiety also affect the quality of life epilepsy patient. Vitamin D is considered as a neurosteroid modulator of nerve excitability and seizure susceptibility. Studies of vitamin D direct role in epilepsy are limited. Nevertheless, some studies show the role of vitamin D as an anticonvulsant that reduces the incidence of seizures.Aim: To determine the correlation between vitamin D serum levels with quality of life in epilepsy patient.Method: A cross sectional observational study on people with epilepsy in neurology clinic at Dr. Soeselo Hospital, Slawi, Dr Kariadi Hospital, and Tugurejo Hospital, Semarang in July 2017-January 2018. The quality of life was assessed with Quality of Life in Epilepsy 31 (QOLIE-31). Vitamin D serum levels measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Data were analyzed using Spearman test. Results were considered significant if p<0.05.Results: There was no correlation between vitamin D serum levels with quality of life in epilepsy. There was significant correlation between anxiety with quality of life and there were difference between age group with quality of life. Discussion: There was no correlation between serum vitamin D levels and  quality of life in epilepsy patient.Keywords: Epilepsy,quality of life epilepsy, vitamin DABSTRAKPendahuluan: Epilepsi mempengaruhi status kesehatan secara keseluruhan dan menurunkan kualitas hidup pasien epilepsi. Frekuensi bangkitan, tipe bangkitan, gangguan aktivitas harian, depresi dan ansietas, juga memengaruhi kualitas hidup pasien epilepsi. Vitamin D dianggap neurosteroid, sebagai modulator eksitabilitas saraf dan kerentanan bangkitan. Bukti langsung untuk peran vitamin D dalam epilepsi terbatas. Namun beberapa penelitian menunjukkan peran vitamin D sebagai antikonvulsan yang mengurangi kejadian bangkitan.Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan kadar vitamin D serum dengan kualitas hidup pada pasien epilepsi.Metode: Penelitian potong lintang terhadap pasien epilepsi yang berobat ke Poliklinik Saraf RSUD Dr. Soeselo, Slawi, RSUP Dr. Kariadi, Semarang, dan RS Tugurejo, Semarang pada bulan Juli 2017-Januari 2018. Kualitas hidup dinilai menggunakan kuesioner Quality of Life in Epilepsy 31 (QOLIE-31), pengukuran kadar vitamin D serum menggunakan metode enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Data dianalisis dengan uji Spearman, hasil dianggap bermakna jika p<0,05.Hasil: Tidak didapatkan hubungan antara kadar vitamin D serum dengan kualitas hidup serta domainnya pada pasien epilepsi. Didapatkan hubungan yang bermakna antara ansietas dengan kualitas hidup dan antara kelompok usia dengan kualitas hidup.Diskusi: Tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara kadar vitamin D serum dengan kualitas hidup pada pasien epilepsi.Kata kunci: Epilepsi, kualitas hidup, vitamin D
