A determination of vitamin D status and intake of pregnant and non-pregnant Saudi Arabian women in Mecca, Saudi Arabia
… of the present study was to determine serum 25(OH)D and PTH concentrations as well as vitamin D and Ca dietary intake in healthy pregnant (P) (n=48) and non-pregnant (NP) (n=70) Saudi Arabian women who reside in Mecca- Saudi Arabia. Age, occupation, skin color, smoking status, use of …

An exploration of the calcium metabolic system in pregnancy and public health programmes to improve early nutrition in maternal-infant cohorts
… In the largest clinical study to date, serum 25- hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and parathyroid hormone [PTH] were analysed in 1754 women in the SCOPE pregnancy cohort. While 25% of participants had a 25(OH)D concentration > 75 nmol/L, 17% were < 30 nmol/L. Functional vitamin D deficiency, defined …

The Impact of Vitamin D Status upon Markers of Athlete Health
… there is a pandemic of low serum vitamin D (25[OH]D) concentration, partly due to a lack of sun exposure (the primary route for synthesis) and modern lifestyle choices. The bioactive form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25[OH]2D3) exerts its biological activity by binding to the …

Nonlinear models with measurement error: Application to vitamin D
… A biomarker for vitamin D status is a person's 25-hydroxyvitamin D (or 25(OH)D) serum level. From a practical viewpoint, we cannot make public health recommendations using 25(OH)D levels. Ideally we want to be able to make recommendations for intakes of vitamin D. In our work, we model the …
