No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2011 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) / Fundação Oswaldo Ramos / Background: Hypovitaminosis D is highly prevalent among chronic kidney disease patients and it has been associated with worse outcome even in the earlier stages of the disease. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for hypovitaminosis D in nondialyzed chronic kidney disease patients. Design: This cross-sectional study included 120 chronic kidney disease patients on stages 2 to 5 (62% male, age 55.4±11.3yr, estimated glomerular filtration rate 35.1±15ml/min, body mass index (BMI) 27.1±5.2kg/m2, 31% diabetics). Serum 25-hydroxivitamin D was measured by chemiluminescence. Subjective global assessment, total body fat (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), visceral and subcutaneous abdominal fat (computed tomography) and several laboratory parameters were assessed. Results: Insufficiency of 25-hydroxivitamin D (15-30ng/ml) was observed in 55% of the patients and deficiency (<15ng/ml) in 20%. Patients with diabetes, BMI ≥30kg/m2, and who had the blood collection during the winter or spring had lower 25-hydroxivitamin D levels. Serum 25-hydroxivitamin D correlated inversely with parathyroid hormone, proteinuria, insulin resistance, leptin, and subcutaneous abdominal fat. The risk factors for hypovitaminosis D were diabetes (odds ratio 3.8; 95% CI 1.2-11.7; P=0.022) and BMI ≥30kg/m2 (odds ratio 4.3; 95% CI 1.2-15.3; P=0.018). In the logistic regression analysis adjusting for gender, skin color and season of the year, diabetes and BMI ≥30kg/m2 were independently associated with hypovitaminosis D. Conclusions: Diabetes and obesity were the risk factors for hypovitaminosis D in nondialyzed chronic kidney disease patients. Effective interventional protocols of vitamin D supplementation taking into account these risk factors are warranted for this population. / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2006 / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / Objetivos: Avaliar os efeitos de 6 meses de suplementação com colecalciferol e cálcio sobre o metabolismo mineral e sobre os parâmetros de força muscular de membros inferiores, oscilação postural e mobilidade funcional. Desenho do Estudo: Ensaio clínico prospectivo, randomizado, duplo-cego, placebocontrolado. Local de realização: Duas instituições de longa permanência para idosos, em São Paulo - SP, Brasil. Participantes: 56 idosos de ambos os sexos (12 homens e 44 mulheres), com 60 anos de idade ou mais (mediana=77,6; limites=62-94 anos). Métodos: Os pacientes foram randomizados em Grupo-Ca (n=28) para placebo, ou Grupo-Ca+D (n=28) para colecalciferol. Todos os participantes receberam 1000 mg/dia de cálcio. O Grupo-Ca+D recebeu colecalciferol oral nas doses de 150.000 UI/ mês durante os 2 primeiros meses de estudo e 90.000 UI/mês nos 4 meses subseqüentes, correspondendo a uma dose mensal de 3670 UI/dia em média, de Dezembro-2004 a Maio-2005. Níveis séricos de 25-Hidroxivitamina D (25OHD), paratormônio intacto (PTH) e cálcio foram mensurados no início do estudo (M1), 2 meses (M2) e 6 meses (M3) após tratamento. Os testes neuromusculares foram realizados antes do início da intervenção e repetidos após o fim do tratamento. A força muscular dos membros inferiores foi avaliada através de um índice de força muscular (IFM), incluindo a força dos músculos flexores do quadril e extensores do joelho, mensurada por dinamômetro mecânico portátil. Para avaliar a oscilação postural foi criado um índice (IOP) a partir da mensuração da oscilação do corpo nos diâmetros sagital e frontal ao nível da cintura. A mobilidade funcional foi mensurada através dos testes “Timed Up&Go” (TUG) e alcance funcional (TAF). Resultados: A 25OHD sérica aumentou em ambos os grupos no M2, porém mais no Grupo-Ca+D do que no Grupo-Ca (OR=2,2; 95%IC=1,98-2,4 vs. OR=1,76; 95%IC=1.55-1.99, respectivamente). No M3, os níveis de 25OHD declinaram apenas no Grupo-Ca, contudo, o PTH sérico diminuiu no M2 (p<0.0001) e retornou aos valores basais no M3 (p<0.0001) igualmente nos dois grupos. Antes do tratamento, deficiência/insuficiência de 25OHD (<50 nmol/L) afetava 67,9% do total de participantes. No M3, nenhum paciente do Grupo-Ca+D, mas 40% dos pacientes do Grupo-Ca tinham deficiência/insuficiência de 25OHD. Hipercalcemia não foi detectada em nenhum paciente. Apenas no Grupo-Ca+D, o IFM teve um aumento de 20% no M3 (OR=1,20; 95%IC=1,12-1,29), enquanto que IOP e TAF aumentaram igualmente nos dois grupos, provavelmente porque os pacientes de ambos os grupos aumentaram sua exposição solar durante o verão. Conclusões: A suplementação com colecalciferol e cálcio foi segura e efetiva em aumentar os níveis séricos de 25OHD, reduzir a prevalência de deficiência/insuficiência de 25OHD e aumentar a força muscular de membros inferiores nos idosos do grupo tratado.

Design: Prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Setting: Institutionalized elderly of two long-stay geriatric care units of São Paulo-SP, Brazil. Participants: 56 elderly volunteers of both genders (12 men and 44 women) of ages 60 and older (median=77.6; range=62-94 years). Methods: Subjects were randomized into a Ca-group (n=28) to receive placebo or a Ca+D-group (n=28) to receive cholecalciferol. All participants received 1,000 mg/day of calcium. Laboratory measurements were performed at baseline (M1), 2 moths (M2) and 6 months (M3) after intervention. The Ca+D-group received oral cholecalciferol on a monthly basis (3670 IU/day on average, from December-2004 to May-2005). Neuromuscular measurements were performed at baseline and 6 months. Results: Serum 25(OH)D increased in both groups at M2, but more so in the Ca+Dgroup than in the Ca-group (OR=2.2, 95%CI=1.98-2.4 vs. OR=1.76, 95%CI=1.55- 1.99, respectively). At M3, 25(OH)D levels declined only in the Ca-group. Nevertheless, serum PTH diminished at M2 (p<0.0001) and went back to baseline levels at M3 (p<0.0001) equally in both groups. Before treatment, 25(OH)D deficiency/insufficiency (<50 nmol/liter) affected 67.9% of the entire group. At M3, no patient in the Ca+D-group, but 40% of the Ca-group patients had 25(OH)D deficiency/insufficiency. Hypercalcemia was not detected at any time. The odds of improving lower-extremity muscle strength increased by 20% (OR=1.20, 95%CI=1.12-1.29) only in the Ca+D-group, whereas BS and FRT increased equally in both groups, probably because the study was conducted during the summer. Conclusions: The supplementation with calcium and supra-physiological doses of cholecalciferol was safe and effective in enhancing 25(OH)D levels, reducing the prevalence of 25(OH)D insufficiency, and increasing lower-extremity muscle strength in institutionalized elderly. / FAPESP: 03/13194-6 / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações
