8 Causes of Vitamin D Deficiency 1.Reduced Skin Synthesis Sunscreen, Veel, Aging, Season, Skin Pigment 2. Decreased Availability Malabsorption, Obesity 3. Increased Catabolism / Loss Anticonvulsants, HAART, Nephrotic Syndrom 4. Breast-feeding 5. Decreased 25-OH-D Synthesis Liver Failure 6. Decreased 1,25-(OH)2-D Synthesis CKD, Vitamin D-dependent Rickets X-Linked Hypophosphatemia, AD Hypophosphatemia, Oncogenic Osteomalacia

9 25-OH-D Levels: Definitions 1. Deficiency (< 25 nmol/l) -> Mineralization Defect 2. Insufficiency (< 50 nmol/l) -> Increased Bone Turnover and/or PTH 3. Sufficiency (Suboptimal) (50-75 nmol/l) -> Neutral Effect (General Population) 4. Optimal (> 75 nmol/l) -> Desiderable Benefits on Falls & Fracture (Osteoporotic Patients)

10 Risk Factors for Vitamin D Inadequacy Serum 25(OH)D <75 nmol/l (multivariate analysis) Race (Asian) Race (Other) BMI (>30 kg/m 2 ) Latitude (non-equatorial) Inadequate Vit D Supplement Use (<400 IU daily) Inadequate Vit D Supplement Use (none) General Health (Poor/Fair) No MD discussion about vitamin D Difficulty tanning No recent travel to sunny area Odds Ratio Rizzoli et al, 2006

11 Threshold Assessment for the Risk of Fracture, According to Quartile of Baseline 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Level 4383 participants 65 yrs with baseline 25-OH-D levels P = 0.02 P < Baseline serum 25-OH-D 61 nmol/l vs < 30 nmol/l: - 37% risk of hip fracture (HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.46 to 0.87) - 31% risk of any nonvertebral fracture (HR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.57 to 0.84) After adjustment for study, group assignment (treatment or control), age group, sex, and type of dwelling Bischoff-Ferrari et al.

28 Type II Diabetes In the NHANES III, including 6228 adults age 20 years and older, there was a dose-dependent inverse association between serum 25(OH)D concentration and risk of diabetes. For 25(OH)D levels of 81 nmol/l or higher compared to 43.9 nmol/l or lower, the OR was 0.25 (95% CI ) (Scragg R et al. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, diabetes, and ethnicity in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Diabetes Care. 2004;27(12):2813-8) in the same cohort, serum 25(OH)D concentrations were inversely associated with insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), with best levels observed in the top quartile of 25(OH)D of 81 nmol/l or higher.

29 Cardiovascular System and Vitamin D N = 10 Meta-analyses Beveridge & Witham Osteoporos Int 2013

30 Conclusions: Cardiovascular System and Vitamin D 1. Cross-sectional Studies: Assocations between Low 25-OH-D and Stroke, Myocardial Infaction, Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension and Heart Failure 2. Longitudinal Studies: Assocations between Low 25-OH-D and Incident Hypertension and Cardiovascular Events 3. Intervention Studies: Modest Effects on Hypertension, Insulin Resistance and Fasting Glucose, but no Effects on Blood Lipids -> Need for Large Trials with Cardiovascular Events as Primary Outcome before Recommending Vitamin D as a Therapy for Cardiovascular Disease

37 Conclusions Hydroxyvitamin D Levels > 50 nmol/l are Sufficient to Normalize Calcium and Bone Homeostasis 2. As far as Extraskeletal Systems are Concerned, Modest Reduction of Falls are Observed with 800 IU / day (RCT) 3. From Association Studies, Colon Cancer, Infections, Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases are more Likely in Subjects with 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels < 50 nmol/l ->Target : 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels > 50 nmol/l
