Background:
In Egypt, it seems that adolescent girls are
candidate for vitamin D deficiency (VDD), mostly due to
inadequate sun exposure as a result of the culture and social
dress codes. Curently there is growing evidence that VDD and
iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are associated .
Aim:
Investigate the frequency of VDD in adolescent females
with IDA and demonstrate whether VD (vitamin D) level was
correlated with serum iron indices.
Methods:
Forty adolescent with IDA and 30 healthy control
were compared to determine the degree of VD level; where
VDD (≤20 ng/mL), VD insufficiency (20-30 ng/Ml) and VD
sufficiency (>30 ng/Ml). BMI, CBC, TIBC, serum ferritin, ionized
calcium and 25(OH)D were measured.
Results:
Subnormal VD was more frequent in the IDA group
(75%) than control (40%); where 19 adolescent female patients
(47.5%) were VD deficient, 11 (27.5%) were insufficient and
10 (25%) were sufficient; in control group VDD was present
in 4 (20%), VDI in 4 (20%) and VDS in 12 (60%) respectively.
The mean level of VD was significantly lower in winter than
summer (16.87 vs. 31.57 mg/dL, P <0.001). Analysis of the
factors potentially associated with D levels was performed,
including BMI, season and serum iron profile, and we found no
significant independent predictors of VD levels.
Conclusions:
VDD has a high frequency in Egyptian adolescent
females with IDA, however it is not significantly correlated
with iron indicies. Measurement of VD level in such patients, a
procedure that is not currently a part of routine investigation,
could be necessary.
