Association Of Vitamin D Deficiency With Risk Factors In Postmenopausal Women

Аннотация

In conditions of age-related decrease in sex hormones and a number of pathological conditions and diseases in postmenopausal women, there is a deficiency of D hormone. In our country, the geographic location of which is below northern latitude and sufficient ultraviolet radiation, an insufficient content of vitamin D is seen in postmenopausal women. There are a lot of risk factors leading to vitamin D deficiency - the presence of smog and dust in cities, insufficient consumption of vitamin-fortified foods, the presence of problems with the gastrointestinal tract and excretory system and a number of others. One of the important factors that reduce vitamin storage is overweight and obesity, especially in combination with old age, when all absorption processes are reduced. The aim of our research was to study risk factors in women with vitamin D deficiency with subsequent correction of the deficiency state. We examined the level of total 25 (OH) D in the blood serum in 46 postmenopausal women, and identified risk factors. Vitamin D deficiency was detected in 86.96% of women, and its deficiency was registered in 10.87%. At the same time, a pronounced vitamin deficiency was not registered in any patient. Overweight was registered in 32.6%, obesity of varying degrees in 26.1%. Given the indicators, recommendations were given for correcting vitamin D deficiency. All postmenopausal women, especially those with risk factors for deficiency, are recommended to determine the basic level of vitamin D. In case of deficiency, drug correction is recommended to reduce the risk of cardiovascular and oncological diseases.
