Low vitamin D levels accelerates muscle mass loss in patients with chronic liver disease
This study aimed to clarify the relationship between vitamin D levels and muscle mass loss. A total of 166 patients with chronic liver disease were enrolled in this study. Skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) was me asured by bioelectrical impedance analysis at baseline and after 1 year. The rate of change in SMI from baseline after 1 year was calculated: ΔSMI (%) = [(1-year SMI − baseline SMI) / baseline SMI] × 100. Muscle mass loss was defined as ΔSMI ≤ −2%. The median 25-hydroxyvitamin D was 15.2 (1 1.2–19.3) ng/mL. The median SMI were 6.8 (5.9–7.8) kg/m2 at baseline and 6.7 (5.9 –7.6) kg/m2 after 1 year. The...

Post-diagnosis serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in women treated for breast cancer participating in a lifestyle trial in Italy
CONCLUSIONS: Hypovitaminosis D in women recently diagnosed with BC and participating in a lifestyle trial in Italy was widespread and highest with obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, and chemotherapy use. Considering that hypovitaminosis D is a risk factor for lower efficacy of bone density treatments and possibly BC mortality, our results suggest the need to promptly address and treat vitamin D deficiency.PMID:38523582 | DOI:10.4081/reumatismo.2024.1632 (Source: Reumatismo)

Vitamin D Status in an Italian Pediatric Cohort: Is There a Role for Tobacco Smoking Exposure?
CONCLUSION: Our results further prove that hypovitaminosis D is common in the Italian children and documented that passive smoke exposure is a significant risk factor for hypovitaminosis D.PMID:38523346 | DOI:10.4274/jcrpe.galenos.2024.2023-11-16 (Source: JCRPE Journal of Clinical Research in Pediatric Endocrinology)
