Vitamin D Deficiency

Low Vitamin D Risks

• Increased blood pressure - 2.4 times
• High blood sugar - 2.5 times
• Metabolic syndrome 4.0 times

6
Vitamin D and Bones

• Vitamin D is important for people
  with osteoporosis. Studies show that calcium and
  vitamin D together can increase bone density in
  postmenopausal women. Vitamin D also helps with
  other disorders associated with weak bones, like
  rickets.

7
Vitamin D and the Heart

• Low levels of vitamin D associated with increased
  risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality.
• One study Low vitamin D risk increase of
• Coronary Artery Disease - 45
• Stroke - 78
• Heart attack - 50
• Death 77-100
• 25-57 USA adults may be deficient

8
Vitamin D and Critical Illness

• For critically ill patients in the hospital, low
  vitamin D levels have been found to be related to
• Organ malfunction
• Length of stay
• Infection rates

9
Vitamin D and MS
Several studies have suggested that maintaining
adequate levels of vitamin D may have a
protective effect and lower the risk of
developing multiple sclerosis (MS). Other studies
suggest that for people who already have MS,
vitamin D may lessen the frequency and severity
of their symptoms. More research is needed to
assess these findings.
10
Is there any proof that vitamin D supplements can
prevent MS or keep symptoms of MS from
worsening?

• When a person has MS, his or her immune system
  attacks the coating that protects the nerve
  cells. Research suggests that a connection
  between vitamin D and MS could be tied to the
  positive effects vitamin D has on the immune
  system.
• The link between vitamin D and MS is strengthened
  by the association between sunlight and the risk
  of MS. The farther away from the equator a person
  lives, the higher the risk of MS. Sunlight is the
  body's most efficient source for vitamin D
  suggesting that exposure to sunlight may offer
  protection from MS.

11
Vitamin D and Cancer Cure

• Inverse correlation between incidence, mortality
  and or survival rates for many cancers including
  breast, colorectal, ovarian, and prostate
  cancers.
• Emerging evidence that more than 17 cancers are
  likely to be vitamin D sensitive.
• 1000 IU/day could reduce cancers 7 for men, 9
  for women in US.
• 25(OH)D level of 52 ng/ml reduced breast cancer
  by 50
• 60-80 ng/ml may be optimal for most individuals
• 25(OH)D level increase from 29 to 39 reduced
  cancer risk by 60 after 4 years.

12
Vitamin D and the Lungs

• Asthma Early studies indicate may reduce severe
  exacerbations, exercise induced
  bronchoconstriction
• Lower respiratory tract infections are more
  frequent in those with low 25(OH)D levels.
• 2000 IU Vitamin D abolished the seasonality of
  influenza and dramatically reduced the
  self-reported incidence.
• Vitamin D reduces inflammation and viral
  pathogens.

13
Vitamin D and Depression

• Vitamin D may be primarily associated with
  cognitive domains other than memory , such as
  executive cognitive functions, depression,
  bipolar disorders, and schizophrenia.
• Low 25(OH)D may be a risk factor for cognitive
  impairment (41-60).
• Receptors for Vitamin D are present in brain
  cells.
• Increased Vitamin D may improve cognitive
  function in
• patients with Alzheimer's

14
Pros and Cons Vitamin D From the SUN

• 5-6 times more deaths from internal cancers
  related to low vitamin D levels than skin cancers
• Regular moderate outdoor UV exposure increases
  survival of melanoma patients

15
Current Vitamin D Recommendations

• Institute of Medicine recommendations
• 400 IU infants 0 to 12 months
• 600 IU age 1 70 years
• 800 IU age above 70
• 4000 IU upper limit
• Endocrine Society's Clinical guidelines
• 400 IU - 1000 IU infants 0 to 12 months
• 600 IU 1000 IU age 1 18 years
• 600 IU 2000 IU 19 - 70 years
• 800 IU 2000 IU above 70
• 1000 IU to 6 mo, 4000 IU over 8 yrs upper limit

16
Vitamin D Sources

• The Sunshine Vitamin
• Fortified foods
• Typically supply 150 IU per day, but highly
  variable
• (100 - 400 IU per day).
• Supplements-Over-the-counter usually vitamin D3
• Vitamin D3 is more than three times powerful
  than D2.

Why Euopeans Need Vitamin D

• 70 percent of Europeans suffer from low vitamin D
  levels---Spanish Foundation for Science and
  Technology
• In recent years, there have been reports
  suggesting a high prevalence of low vitamin D
  intakes and vitamin D deficiency or inadequate
  vitamin D status in Europe.
• European latitude and Climate resulting in
  inadequate sun exposure.

19
Why Euopeans Need Vitamin D

• Lifestyle factors such as longer working hours
  indoors and less outdoor playtime for children
  may impact on achieving sufficient sun exposure
• The importance of time spent outdoors was shown
  in a Swiss population study, where it was a
  significant predictor of low vitamin D levels in
  patients aged over 65 years

20
Vitamin D and sun exposurein Europe
Sunlight is not strong enough to trigger
synthesis of vitamin D in the skin from October
to March. Therefore, European population rely
on dietary vitamin D and body stores to maintain
a healthy vitamin D status, particularly during
the winter season
21
How Much Vitamin D is Needed?

• The only way to know how much is needed is to
  test 25(OH)D.
• Everyone should be tested!
• Goal 25(OH)D between 60-80 ng/ml after a
  consistent intake level over 2 months.
• 100 IU of vitamin D raises 25(OH)D about 1 ng/ml.
