Introduction: Vitamin D Deficiency (VDD) and several other metabolic factors are known to be involved in the aggravation of Osteoarthritis (OA). A better understanding of the role of these metabolic factors and diseases is required to alleviate the OA progression. Aim: To analyse the prevalence of VDD in OA patients and its correlation with co-morbidities such as diabetes, hypertension (HT), Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and acidity and also to assess the effect of Body Mass Index (BMI) and increasing age on the developmental process of OA. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was undertaken during September 2018 to March 2019 in King Khaled, King Salman and Hail General Hospitals located in Ha’il province of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The study included 501 participants of OA patients that visited these hospitals. Data pertaining to the variables in this study such as diabetes, HT, cardiovascular problems, vitamin D and calcium deficiency, acidity and anthropometric details was obtained using a structured questionnaire. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation with the statistical program SPSS version 21. Results: VDD, calcium deficiency and acidity were the most prevalent factors observed in the patients. Vitamin D and calcium deficiency was observed to be higher in females than males. VDD significantly correlated to diabetes, HT, acidity and age, both in females and males. Cardiovascular disease and BMI correlated with VDD only in males but not in females. BMI showed positive correlation with HT in males (p<0.01) but not females, and also correlated with age (p<0.01) irrespective of gender. Conclusion: The study concluded that VDD is more prevalent in females than males in Ha’il region. It is correlated to variables such as diabetes, HT, acidity, BMI and increasing age, which are identified as risk factors contributing to the progression of OA.

AbstractVitamin D deficiency is an epidemic public health problem worldwide. It is common in the Middle East and is more severe in women. This cross-sectional study was conducted to assess vitamin D deficiency and associated risk factors in women living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) was measured in 166 women aged 30–65 years. Socio-demographic, lifestyle and health status characteristics, as well as intake of selected dietary supplements, were collected. Weight and height were measured. Vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL) was reported in 60.2% of participants. Mean of serum 25(OH)D was 20.7 ng/mL. Older age and taking the supplements of vitamin D, multi-vitamins or calcium were identified as factors that associated with a lower risk of hypovitaminosis D. A national strategy is needed to control a hypovitaminosis D crisis in Saudi Arabia. This could be accomplished by raising public awareness regarding vitamin D, regulating and enhancing vitamin D fortification and supplementation and screening vitamin D status among women at high risk.

Дефицит витамина D, а также сердечно-сосудистые заболевания (ССЗ) и связанные с ними факторы риска широко распространены во всем мире и часто возникают одновременно. Давно известно, что витамин D является неотъемлемой частью метаболизма костей, хотя недавние данные свидетельствуют о том, что витамин D играет ключевую роль в патофизиологии других заболеваний, включая сердечно-сосудистые заболевания. В этом обзоре мы стремимся обобщить самые последние данные об участии дефицита витамина D в развитии основных факторов риска сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний: артериальной гипертензии, ожирения и дислипидемии, диабета 2 типа, хронического заболевания почек и эндотелиальной дисфункции. Кроме того, мы приводим самые последние данные наблюдений, а также интервенционные данные о влиянии витамина D на сердечно-сосудистые заболевания. Vitamin D deficiency, as well as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and associated risk factors, are widespread throughout the world and often occur concurrently. Vitamin D has long been known to be an essential part of bone metabolism, although recent evidence suggests that vitamin D plays a key role in the pathophysiology of other diseases, including cardiovascular disease. In this review, we seek to summarize the most recent evidence on the involvement of vitamin D deficiency in the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease: hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and endothelial dysfunction. In addition, we provide the most recent observational data as well as interventional evidence on the effects of vitamin D on cardiovascular disease.

Introduction. In Russian Federation, there are no comprehensive studies assessing the quality of life and risk factors for vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency, taking into account its status in different geographic latitudes.Aim. To assess the quality of life and risk factors for vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency among the population living in the regions of the Russian Federation located at latitudes from 45 ° to 70 °.Materials and methods. The first stage of the Russian multicenter non-interventional registry study using the “cross-sectional” method was carried out from March 2020 to May 2020.Results and discussion. According to the results of the correlation analysis, qualitative and quantitative factors were identified, presumably being risk factors for vitamin D deficiency and deficiency. Qualitative risk factors include: education; alcohol consumption; being in direct sunlight for more than 30 minutes a day; visit to the solarium; using sunscreen; drinking coffee; taking medications (not vitamin-mineral complexes). Quantitative factors include: visits to specialists (total per year); smoking (duration, years); exercise for more than 30 minutes a day, once a week; being in direct sunlight for more than 30 minutes a day.Conclusion. A wide range of risk factors for vitamin D deficiency dictates the need for their further study to clarify the category of persons who are shown targeted biochemical screening with subsequent drug correction.

ObjectivesThis is the first attempt to provide estimates on the prevalence of hypertension at the national, state and district level, a prerequisite for designing effective interventions. Besides, the study aims to identify the risk factors of hypertension.DesignWe analysed cross-sectional survey data from the fourth round (2015–2016) of National Family Health Survey (NFHS). NFHS was conducted between January 2015 and December 2016, gathering information on a range of indicators including blood pressure. The age adjusted prevalence of hypertension was calculated for state comparison, while multilevel logistic regression analysis was done to assess the correlates of hypertension.Setting and participantsIndia (2015–2016; n=811 917) aged 15–49.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe primary outcome is hypertension, which has been defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg.ResultsThe age-adjusted prevalence of hypertension in India was 11.3% (95% CI 11.16% to 11.43%) among persons aged between 15 and 49 and was four percentage points higher among males 13.8% (95% CI 13.46% to 14.19%) than among females 10.9% (95% CI 10.79% to 11.06%). Persons in the urban location (12.5%, 95% CI 12.25% to 12.80%) had a marginally higher prevalence than persons in rural location (10.6%, 95% CI 10.50% to 10.78%). The proportion of population suffering from hypertension varied greatly between states, with a prevalence of 8.2% (95% CI 7.58% to 8.85%) in Kerala to 20.3% (95% CI 18.81% to 21.77%) in Sikkim. Advancing age, obesity/overweight, male sex, socioeconomic status and consumption of alcohol were found to be the major predictors of hypertension.ConclusionsHypertension prevalence is now becoming more concentrated among the poor. Policy measures should be taken to improve the hazardous working conditions and growing social pressures of survival responsible for ‘life-style’ changes such as consumption of high calorie food and alcohol.

Hyperhomocysteinaemia (HHcy) is an independent risk factor for major cardiovascular diseases, but data on the prevalence and predictors of HHcy in low- and middle-income countries like Ethiopia are scant. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of HHcy and associated risk factors in the Ethiopian adult population. A cross-sectional survey on risks of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) using the STEPwise approach to surveillance (STEPS) survey was conducted between April and June 2015. A total of 4,175 study participants were surveyed. Serum homocysteine (Hcy) and metabolic profile were determined using Cobas Integra 400 Plus and CardioChek PA analyzer, respectively. Factors associated with HHcy were determined using logistic regression. The mean serum tHcy concentration was 14.6 μmol/L, with 16.4 μmol/L in males and 13.4 μmol/L in females. Overall, 38% had HHcy, with figures in males (49%) higher than females (30%). Increased age, being male, and high blood pressure and/or taking blood pressure medication, as well as low consumption of fruit and/or vegetables, were independent risk factors for HHcy. In conclusion, the prevalence of HHcy among the adult Ethiopian population is alarmingly high. Improving diets through the promotion of fruit and vegetable consumption is needed to reduce the risk of NCDs.
