Older age and lower adiposity predict better 25-hydroxy vitamin D concentration in Inuit adults: International Polar Year Inuit Health Survey, 2007–2008

摘要

Summary Our aim was to determine the prevalence and correlates of serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration in Inuit adults. Low 25(OH)D concentration (<50 nmol/L) was common; the strongest positive predictors were older age and healthy waist circumference. Nutritional health promotion and interventions along with longitudinal nutritional assessments are needed.
