Summary: The study aimed to establish a cutoff value of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) for fall assessment and investigate the relationship between serum 25(OH)D, grip strength, and fall score in osteoporotic elderly Japanese women adjusted for age. Low serum 25(OH)D level and grip strength were found to be independent risk factors for increased fall risk scores of 6 or higher in this population.

Summary: The study investigated the combination relationship between age, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH) D), and 1,25-(OH)2D3 levels on muscle strength. Results showed that serum 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)(2) D were not related to muscle strength, but age and the combination of age with these two types of vitamin D significantly improved muscle strength up to middle age.

Summary: Recent study found a correlation between vitamin D deficiency and obesity in one-year-old Chinese infants. Infants with obesity had significantly lower 25(OH)D concentrations, suggesting that vitamin D deficiency may be an independent risk factor for obesity in this age group.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between bisphenol A (BPA), 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D], and 1 alpha,25 dihydroxy vitamin D [1,25( OH)(2)D] levels in cord blood of newborn babies. The results showed that both BPA exposure and insufficient vitamin D transfer via cord blood are common in newborns, but there is no correlation between BPA levels and vitamin D levels in cord blood.

The study found that both BPA exposure and insufficient vitamin D transfer via cord blood are common in newborns, but BPA levels were not correlated with vitamin D levels in cord blood.

Summary: This study investigated the combined and separate effects of high dairy protein intake and vitamin D on body composition and cardiometabolic markers in children. The study found that high dairy protein intake inhibited an increase in fat mass index, while vitamin D supplementation counteracted the winter decline in 25-hydroxyvitamin D and the increase in LDL cholesterol.

Summary: The study found that higher levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D were associated with improved lipid and glycemic profiles as well as a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the influence of vitamin D status on cardiovascular disease risk disappeared after adjusting for other factors.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the association between dietary vitamin D intake and serum vitamin D concentrations with cognitive performance in older Americans. The results showed a positive association between dietary vitamin D intake, serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and cognitive performance, with no significant gender differences in the associations. Further research is needed to clarify the effects of dietary vitamin D intake and specific serum D concentrations on cognitive performance.

Summary: Vitamin D is crucial for bone mineralization in children and deficiency is common. Certain medical conditions and genetic alterations can increase the risk of vitamin D deficiency rickets. Measurement of calcifediol levels is used to assess the status of the vitamin D endocrine system. Clinical trials have demonstrated the benefits of ensuring normal 25(OH)D levels and calcium intake in preventing or treating nutritional rickets in children.

Summary: Shift nurses in Taiwan often experience 25(OH)D deficiency, sleep disturbances, depression, and fatigue. However, no significant correlation was found between 25(OH)D levels and mental health.

Summary: This study examined the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) concentration and handgrip strength in a community-based cohort in Germany. The results showed that adequate levels of 25-OHD were associated with higher grip strength, but excessively high levels reversed this effect. Additionally, the effect of 25-OHD levels on grip strength was weaker in older adults.

Summary: This study suggests that handgrip strength may be associated with sex-specific cardiometabolic risk factors in Hispanic/Latino farmworkers, with absolute handgrip strength in males related to triglycerides and in females related to fasting plasma glucose, while relative handgrip strength in males is associated with waist circumference, waist/hip circumference ratio, high-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides, and in females related to waist circumference and fasting plasma glucose. Moreover, it was found that different CMR factors influenced the levels of absolute and relative handgrip strength in both males and females.

Summary: The objective of this study was to evaluate vitamin D status and its predictors in Slovenian premenopausal and postmenopausal women. The study found that vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency were common among both premenopausal and postmenopausal women, with vitamin D supplementation and sun exposure being important predictors of vitamin D status. Interestingly, the vitamin D status in Slovenian postmenopausal women was better than in premenopausal women, which differs from similar studies.

Summary: The study investigated the prevalence and risk factors of sarcopenia, finding that age, lifestyle choices, and diet were significantly associated with the condition. A highly predictive index for sarcopenia was developed based on these findings, highlighting the complex influences of sterol metabolism and nutrition on male vs female participants.
