Abstract:

Objective To investigate the relations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and bone mineral density with blood lipid,blood glucose and insulin resistance in children with simple obesity.Methods The levels of 25(OH)D,fasting blood glucose(FBG),fasting insulin(FINS),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) and uric acid(UA)were determined in 109 children with simple obesity(obesity group) and 104 healthy children(healthy control group). The homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance(HOMA-IR) was calculated. The speed of sound(SOS) of left tibial bone was measured by ultrasonography. The obesity group was classified into mild obesity,moderate obesity and severe obesity groups according to body mass index (BMI). The levels of 25(OH)D and SOS among the 3 groups were compared. The correlation between 25(OH)D and other indicators was evaluated by Pearson linear correlation analysis.Results The UA,TG,TC,LDL-C and FBG in obesity group were higher than those in healthy control group(P<0.05),while 25(OH)D and SOS were lower(P<0.05). In obesity group,25(OH)D was negatively correlated to TG(r=-0.279,P<0.05),while there was no correlation between 25(OH)D and FINS,FBG,HOMA-IR,UA,TC,HDL-C and LDL-C(r=-0.144,-0.027,-0.144,-0.049,-0.106,0.021 and -0.137,P>0.05). The levels of 25(OH)D and SOS in mild obesity,moderate obesity and severe obesity groups were gradually decreased with the degrees of obesity with statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusions The levels of 25(OH)D and SOS are gradually decreased in children with simple obesity with the degrees of obesity. Vitamin D deficiency may be related to obesity.
