A B S T R A C TIntroductionOlder people tend to have decreased activity and intake of macronutrients andmicronutrients that are not in accordance with the body's needs. Research in 2017on elderly men and women at the Center for Family Compensation (PUSAKA) inCentral Jakarta showed that 80.2% of elderly people have vitamin D deficiency. Lowserum levels of vitamin D in the body are the initial risk of decreased muscle massand physical performance in old age. where there is a significant correlation betweenlow serum vitamin D levels in the body with sarcopenia and mortality. The purposeof this study was to determine the correlation of vitamin D levels with muscle mass,muscle strength and physical performance in the elderly community at RSMHPalembang. Methods This research is a study analytic observation with a cross-sectional approach that was carried out at the Integrated Geriatric Clinic InternalMedicine RSMH Palembang from November 2019 to November 2020. A sample of 34people aged> 60 years were examined for muscle mass, muscle strength, physicalperformance and serum vitamin D levels. All processing and analysis The data inthis study used SPSS version 25 for Windows. Results From 34 subjects, it wasfound that there were 29 women (85.3%) and 5 men (14.7%).

Abstract Sarcopenia is an age-related disease with an increased risk of mortality. It is emerging that low serum vitamin D (25(OH)D) affects the sarcopenic state in general, but in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), these associations are not understood although the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency is high in RA. We conducted a cross-sectional study of older female outpatients from our cohort (KURAMA) database. We measured skeletal muscle mass, handgrip strength, and gait-speed to diagnose severe sarcopenia. The serum 25(OH)D concentration was measured using electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. A total of 156 Patients (sarcopenia:44.9%, severe sarcopenia: 29.5%, and without sarcopenia: 25.6%) were enrolled. Classification of vitamin D status at a cutoff point of median 25(OH)D concentration revealed that low 25(OH)D status was associated with a high prevalence of severe sarcopenia and with low measured values of muscle mass, handgrip, and gait-speed. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis identified that low 25(OH)D status was associated with a high prevalence of severe sarcopenia (OR 6.00; 95% CI 1.99–18.08). In components of sarcopenia, both low physical performance and muscle mass were associated with low 25(OH) status. In conclusion, vitamin D levels are associated with severe sarcopenia and its components, and modification of vitamin D status including vitamin D supplementation may play a role in improving sarcopenia in RA.

[Purpose] The aim of this review was to discuss the effects of vitamin D on physical performance and musculoskeletal injuries in athletes and provide information on the field applications of vitamin D. [Methods] A systematic review was conducted to identify studies on vitamin D in athletes that assessed serum vitamin D levels, vitamin D and physical performance, vitamin D and musculoskeletal injuries, and practical guidelines for supplementation of vitamin D. [Results] Several studies reported that a high proportion of athletes had vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency. Low serum levels of vitamin D in athletes were more pronounced in winter than in other seasons, and indoor athletes had lower serum vitamin D levels than outdoor athletes. Low vitamin D levels have been demonstrated to have negative effects on muscle strength, power, and endurance; increase stress fractures and other musculoskeletal injuries; and affect acute muscle injuries and inflammation following high-intensity exercises. Therefore, periodic assessment and monitoring of vitamin D levels are necessary in athletes; the recommended serum level of 25(OH)D is > 32 ng/mL and the preferred level is > 40 ng/mL (-1). In those with low levels of vitamin D, exposure to sunlight and an improved diet or supplements may be helpful. Particularly, 2000–6000 IU of supplemental vitamin D3 can be consumed daily. [Conclusion] Vitamin D is a potential nutritional factor that can significantly affect physical performance and musculoskeletal injuries in athletes. The importance and role of vitamin D in athletes should be emphasized, and the current levels of vitamin D should be assessed. Therefore, it is essential to periodically evaluate and monitor serum vitamin D levels in athletes.

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.

Abstract An analysis of the structure of the causes of infertility shows that up to almost 25% of women of reproductive age ovulation disorders are observed. Hormonal disorders leading to the absence of ovulation, began to play a leading role in the etiology of infertility, special vitamin D deficiency, while today it has been established that its D receptors (VDR) are localized in most organs, including reproductive ones. VDR affect the expression of 1000 genes and play a crucial role in the implementation of sex hormones function. The aim of the study was to assess the vitamin D level in women of reproductive age, depending on the presence of signs of PCOS and waist circumference (WC). 71 women from 19 to 44 years old were examined of these, 41 patients were diagnosed with PCOS and impaired ovulatory function, in 30 patients the ovulatory cycle was preserved, and signs of PCOS were not detected. The level of vitamin 25 (OH) D3 in the serum of the subjects was evaluated by tandem chromato-mass spectrometry at the ArchiMed clinic of new medical technologies, Moscow. In the recommendations of the Canadian “The Vitamin D society”, 40-60 ng/ml the optimal level of serum vitamin D, a concentration of 20-40 ng/ml insufficiency, <20 ng/ml as a deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency was detected in 57% of women in both groups, with a pronounced deficiency (<10 ng/ml) in 17%, insufficiency was observed in 43% of cases, a sufficient level was not detected in any of the subjects. The average level of vitamin D in patients with PCOS was 18.2 (2 to 32.3) ng/ml, the value in patients without signs of PCOS was 18.5 (6.8 to 31) ng/ml. Comparison of the vitamin D value with WC showed that in women with PCOS with an WC <80 cm the value of this indicator was 18.8 ng/ml, and for WC ≥ 80 cm it was statistically significantly lower - 13.3 ng/ml (p<0.05). Conclusion. High prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among patients of reproductive age, with no differences in the magnitude of this indicator depending on the presence of signs of PCOS and persistent ovulation. Difference was established between the levels of vitamin D in patients with PCOS depending on the waist circumference - its insufficiency increases with an increase in WC. The results of the study suggest that the deficiency of vitamin D in the body increases with the aggravation of hormonal dysfunction in PCOS, which should be taken into account by specialists during the management of this category of patients and the treatment of infertility.

The deficiency and excess of vitamin D cause various diseases, necessitating continuous management; but it is not easy to accurately measure the serum vitamin D level in the body using a non-invasive method. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between vitamin D levels, body information obtained by an InBody scan, and blood parameters obtained during health checkups, to determine the optimum frequency of vitamin D quantification in the skin and to propose a vitamin D measurement method based on impedance. We assessed body composition, arm impedance, and blood vitamin D concentrations to determine the correlation between each element using multiple machine learning analyses and an algorithm which predicted the concentration of vitamin D in the body using the impedance value developed. Body fat percentage obtained from the InBody device and blood parameters albumin and lactate dehydrogenase correlated with vitamin D level. An impedance measurement frequency of 21.1 Hz was reflected in the blood vitamin D concentration at optimum levels, and a confidence level of about 75% for vitamin D in the body was confirmed. These data demonstrate that the concentration of vitamin D in the body can be predicted using impedance measurement values. This method can be used for predicting and monitoring vitamin D-related diseases and may be incorporated in wearable health measurement devices.

Introduction: Identification of the risk factors and treatment of the decrease in muscle mass or strength are important to improve the prognosis of patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Previous studies have investigated the association between vitamin D level and muscle mass or strength in patients undergoing HD. However, there are conflicting results regarding this association. Objective: To evaluate the association between vitamin D level and muscle mass indices, strength, or physical performance in patients undergoing HD. Methods: This study was performed in a tertiary medical center. We included patients undergoing HD aged ≥20 years. A total of 84 patients were enrolled. The patients were divided into tertiles based on the 25-hydroxy (25-OH) vitamin D level as follows: lowest tertile (Lowest T, n = 28), middle tertile (Middle T, n = 28), and highest tertile (Highest T, n = 28). We evaluated the association between the tertiles and clinical outcomes including nutritional status, muscle mass, muscle function, handgrip strength (HGS), physical performance, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scales. Results: There were no significant differences in the muscle mass indices and nutritional markers according to tertiles of 25-OH vitamin D level. However, 25-OH vitamin D level as a continuous variable or the tertile of 25-OH vitamin D level as a categorical variable was positively associated with HGS. Logistic and linear regression analyses showed a consistent superiority of the Highest T in HGS compared with the Lowest or Middle T. Although the statistical significance was weak, the scores of various physical performance tests and the HRQoL scales were highest in the Highest T among the 3 tertiles. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that serum vitamin D level is associated with HGS in patients undergoing HD regardless of muscle mass indices or nutritional status.

The older population is at a high risk of Vitamin-D deficiency due to decreased cutaneous synthesis and dietary intake of Vitamin-D. Results from previous studies examining associations between serum 25- hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations and depressive symptoms are equivocal. Hence this study was undertaken in order to find the association between vitamin D and symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress in a cross-sectional analysis of a population-based sample of elderly residing in Bangalore city. The objectives of this study are 1. To assess Serum 25(OH) Vitamin-D in the elderly. 2. To assess symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress in the elderly with different levels of Vitamin-D. This study involved 80 healthy elderly subjects with consideration of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Written informed consent was taken. For each subject, fasting blood sample of 4ml was collected for Serum 25(OH) Vitamin-D assessment. Anthropometric measurements were taken. 24-hour dietary recall, General History Questionnaire and Mental health symptoms were assessed using the 21-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21). Associations between serum 25(OH)D concentrations and total DASS-21 scores and subscale scores of depression, anxiety and stress were explored using negative binomial regression, adjusting for age, race, BMI and physical activity. The comparison of Serum Vitamin-D levels and DASS-21 components showed that the mean scores for Depression, anxiety and Stress were significantly higher in the Vitamin-D deficient participants, indicating that the Vitamin-D deficient participants had worst Psychological consequences. It can be concluded that a significant correlation was found between Serum Vitamin-D deficiency and poor psychological health. Based on the results of this study, psychological health for elderly can be improved by providing regular examinations and checking their Serum Vitamin-D levels and supplementing Vitamin-D to the elderly to enhance their quality of Life.
