RESUMO
Resumen Introducción: Actualmente la vitamina D ha ganado importancia, por ser considerada una hormona y porque sus bajos niveles están asociados con diferentes patologías, especialmente alteraciones de la masa ósea. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de bajos niveles de vitamina D en pacientes adultos con osteopenia y osteoporosis, atendidos en consulta externa de endocrinología en Popayán Cauca. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo que incluyó pacientes con diagnóstico de osteopenia y osteoporosis realizado por densitometría ósea entre los años 2013 y 2016, que tenían reporte de niveles de vitamina D obtenidos por cualquier método. Se describieron características sociodemográficas, resultados de densitometría ósea, niveles vitamina D, hormona paratiroidea y calcio iónico. Resultados: Se incluyeron 300 pacientes con diagnóstico de osteopenia y osteoporosis de los cuales 211 tenían bajos niveles de vitamina D, para una prevalencia del 71,3%, el nivel promedio de 25 hidroxivitamina D fue de 24,35ng/ml. Conclusiones: La alta prevalencia de bajos niveles de vitamina D en pacientes con osteopenia y osteoporosis hace indispensable la medición de 25 hidroxivitamina D en esta población, esto con el fin de realizar una intervención terapéutica apropiada.
Abstract Introduction: Vitamin D has gained interest because it is a hormone whose low levels are associated with different pathologies such as bone mass disorders. Objective: To determine the prevalence of low levels of vitamin D in adult patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis who received care at an outpatient endocrinology clinic in Popayan, Cauca. Materials and methods: A retrospective and descriptive study that included patients diagnosed with osteopenia and osteoporosis through bone densitometry between 2013 and 2016, who also had their vitamin D levels measured by means of any laboratory method. Sociodemographic characteristics, bone densitometry results as well as vitamin D, parathormone and ionic calcium levels were described. Results: A total of 300 patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis were included in the study, of which 211 had low levels of vitamin D, representing a prevalence of 71.3%. Finally, the average level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D was 24.35 ng/ml. Conclusion: The high prevalence of low levels of vitamin D in patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis highlights the importance to measure 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in this population in order to carry out an appropriate therapeutic intervention.

Para mantener un esqueleto sano y mineralizado es de importancia crítica tener una fuente adecuada de vitamina D, que puede conseguirse mediante la exposición solar o la dieta. Se ha observado un aumento de la prevalencia del déficit de Vitamina D que se ha extendido a distintos grupos de edad y diferentes regiones, y ha alcanzado proporciones epidémicas. Estudios recientes han demostrado la importancia de la Vitamina D en la función neuromuscular y su déficit se ha relacionado con alteraciones funcionales y riesgo de caídas en ancianos. La vitamina D es esencial para la absorción normal del calcio en el intestino y tiene un papel fundamental en la mineralización del hueso. Objetivo: Determinar los valores de 25-hidroxivitamina D (25-OH D3) en hombres con baja masa ósea. Materiales y métodos: Se estudiaron sujetos masculinos con baja masa ósea que acudieron a la Unidad de Investigación UNILIME-UC Hospital Universitario "Dr. Ángel Larralde" entre Junio a Diciembre 2015, la muestra quedó constituida por 47 sujetos con criterios de inclusión (> 60 años con baja masa ósea (osteopenia-osteoporosis) por densitometría ósea (DEXA), en ausencia de enfermedades que determinan hipovitaminosis. A los mismos se les midió calcio sérico y 25 -hidroxivitamina D ( 25 -OH D3) este último se determinó por inmmuno ensayo (OCTEIA 25 -hidroxi vitamina D. IDS.UK). Se tomaron muestras de sangre venosa en ayuno, se congelaron a -70 °C y se midió por duplicado en el mismo tiempo. Los resultados se analizaron con programa SPSS.20 para Windows, utilizando técnicas de análisis descriptivos y para la significancía estadística, el coeficiente correlación de Pearson. Resultados: Se estudiaron 47 hombres con un promedio de edad de 66,28± 5,17 años, con valores promedio de calcio sérico de 8,88±0.38 mg/dl y con baja masa osea por DEXA a nivel de cuello de fémur (CF) de 0,870 g/cm3 con T score -1.5 y a nivel de columna lumbar L1-L4 de 0,917 g/cm3 con T score -1.8. Valores promedio de Vitamina D (25-OH D3) de 28,72±5,33 ng/ml (valor mínimo 18 ng/ml y valor máximo 39,60 ng/ml), observando un 38,30% (n=18) con valores inferiores de 30 ng/dl; de los cuales el 23,5% (n=11) presentaron valores entre 20 - 30 ng/ml catalogados como sujetos con deficit relativo de 25-OH D3 y un 14,8% (n=7) con valores inferiores a 20 ng/ml catalogados como sujetos con insuficiencia de 25-OH D3. Al correlacionar los valores de 25-OH D3 con la edad se observó una relación estadisticamente significativa (p<0,05), no asi con los niveles de calcio sérico (p=0.2), con DEXA CF (p=0.18) y con DEXA L1- L4 (p= -0,15). Conclusiones: La prevalencia de la disminución de vitamina D (25-OH D3) está sobrestimada, sobre todo en los paises tropicales donde se supone que contamos con uno de los principales factores que influyen en mantener dichos valores como es la exposición solar. En este estudio se observa una alta prevalencia de ipoavitaminosis (deficiencia e insuficiencia) de Vitamina D (38,3%). Por lo cual recomendamos se considere (AU)
To maintain a healthy mineralized skeleton is critically important to have an adequate supply of vitamin D, which can be achieved by sun exposure or diet. There has been an increase in the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency that has spread to different age groups and different regions, and has reached epidemic proportions. Recent studies have shown the importance of vitamin D in the neuromuscular function, and its deficit has been associated with functional alterations and risk of falls in the elderly. Vitamin D is essential for normal calcium absorption in the intestine and plays a key role in bone mineralization. Objective: To determine the values of 25 -hydroxyvitamin D (25 - OH D3) in men with low bone mass. Methods: Male patients with low bone mass who came to the Research Unit UNILIME -UC University Hospital " Angel Larralde" were studied from June to Diciemnbre 2015; the sample consisted of 47 subjects with theses inclusion criteria. >60 years with low bone mass (osteopenia - (osteoporosis) by bone densitometry (DEXA ) in the absence of diseases that determine hipovitaminosis. Serum calcium and 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25 -OH D3 ) were measured by enzymeinmmunoassay (25 -hydroxy vitamin D. OCTEIA IDS.UK ) venous blood samples in fasting state , frozen at - 70° C and measured in duplicate at the same time. the results were analyzed with SPSS.20 program for Windows, using descriptive analysis techniques and statistical significance the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: the average age was 66.28 ± 5.17 years (minimum value of 61 years and maximum 71 years ), with average values of serum calcium of 8.88 ± 0.38 mg / dl and low bone mass by DEXA level Femur neck ( CF ) of 0.870 g / cm3 with Tscore -1.5 and level L1- L4 lumbar spine of 0.917 g / cm3 with Tscore -1.8. average Vitamin D values (25 - OHD3) of 28.72 ± 5.33 ng / ml (minimum value of 18 ng/ ml and maximum value 39.60 ng / ml), observing a 38.30 % (n = 18) with values lower than 30 ng / dl ; of which 23.5 % (n = 11) showed values between 20 to 30 ng / ml classified as subjects with relative deficit of 25 - OH D3 and 14.8 % (n = 7) with values lower than 20 ng / ml classified as failure subjects with 25 - OH D3. By correlating the values of 25 - OH D3 with age A statistically significant relationship (p < 0.05) was observed, but not with serum calcium levels (p = 0.2) with DEXA CF (p = 0.18) and with DEXA L1 -L4 (p = -0.15). Conclusions: Decrease of the prevalence of vitamin D (25 - OHD3) is overestimated, especially in tropical countries where sun exposure happens. In this study a high prevalence of Vit D hypovitaminosis (deficiencyand insufficiency) Vitamin D (38.3 %) was found. Therefore we recommend the determination of serum Vitamin D is considered in male subjects over 60 years and which have low bone mass(AU)

BACKGROUND: Recent studies showed a high frequency of low bone mineral density (BMD) in HIV-infected patients and no reports have been issued in Turkey. Our aim was to evaluate BMD and risk factors for osteopenia/osteoporosis in HIV-infected patients that attended an outpatient clinic in Istanbul, Turkey. METHOD: In order to determine the prevalence of BMD, 126 HIV-infected patients had been studied with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The association between BMD and age, gender, body mass index (BMI), habits, 25(OH)vitamin D, HIV RNA, CD4 lymphocyte nadir, using and duration of highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) were investigated by using multivariate analysis. RESULTS: Median age was 40.1 years (range, 20-70); 84% were male; 35.7% patients had AIDS, 63.5% were treated with HAART. Osteopenia and osteoporosis were diagnosed in 53.9% and 23.8%, respectively. Mean plasma HIV RNA was 5.2 (SD 1.0) log10 copies/mL and CD4 lymphocyte nadir was 313.8 (SD 226.2)/mm(3). Factors associated with bone loss were high viral load (p=0.034), using (p=0.033) and duration of HAART (p=0.008). No correlation had been seen between sex and osteopenia/osteoporosis (p=0.794). However, males showed higher rates of osteoporosis than females (p=0.042). CONCLUSIONS: Our results show a very high prevalence of bone mass reduction in Turkish HIV-infected patients. This study supports the importance of both HIV and antiretroviral therapy in low BMD.
