Abstract: Objective

To analyze statistically the levels of calcium and 25-hydroxy vitamin D[25(OH)D] of children in Panyu, Guangzhou, in order to provide reference for child health care.

Methods

The levels of calcium and 25(OH)D were determined by atomic absorption spectrometer and electrochemiluminescence immunoassay from 1 902 children. The children were classified into 5 groups according to age, infancy group(1-12 months, 817 cases), toddler age group(1-2 years, 599 cases), preschool age group(3-6 years, 291 cases), school age group(7-11 years,167 cases) and adolescence group(12-18 years, 28 cases). Based on different age groups, each group was subclassified by male and female. The calcium and 25(OH)D levels were analyzed statistically.

Results

The average level of calcium was (1.72±0.19) mmol/L, and the average level of 25(OH)D was (39.12±11.26) ng/mL, and the levels of calcium and 25(OH)D had downward trend with the increasing of age. The levels of calcium and 25(OH)D in infancy group were higher than those in the other 4 groups(P<0.05). The levels of calcium in toddler age group was higher than those in preschool age group and school age group (P<0.05). The levels of 25(OH)D in toddler age group was higher than those in preschool age group, school age group and adolescence group. The levels of calcium and 25(OH)D in preschool age group were higher than those in school age group(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance for calcium and 25(OH)D levels with different sex (P>0.05). Calcium and 25(OH)D were in positive correlation [correlation coefficient (r)=0.221,P<0.05]. Linear equation was Ycalcium=0.004X25(OH)D+1.573.

Conclusions

The levels of calcium and 25(OH)D are not high among Panyu children. The related schools and parents should supervise their children with calcium supplement rationly.
