儿童维生素D缺乏的研究进展

Study Progress of Vitamin D Deficiency in Children

研究表明全球50%的人口存在维生素D缺乏的风险。引起维生素D缺乏的主要原因是人们误认为靠日照或通过膳食就可补充足够的维生素D,而忽略了在特殊年龄或特殊季节添加维生素D的重要性。儿童是维生素D缺乏的潜在高危人群,维生素D缺乏可使儿童易患佝偻病,引起生长迟缓和骨骼变形,并可能增加成人后骨质疏松及老年髋部骨折的危险性。维生素D缺乏还与癌症、自身免疫性疾病、内分泌系统疾病、神经系统疾病、高血压及传染病有关。

New investigations indicated that half of the people in the world had the risk of vitamin D deficiency. The main reasons for vitamin D deficiency was that people ignored the importance of using vitamin D supplement in special ages and seasons. Children were potentially at high risk for vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency during childhood could cause rickets, growth retardation, skeletal deformities and might increase the risk of osteoporosis and hip fracture in later life. Vitamin D deficiency were also related with cancer, autoimmune disease, endocrine system disease, nervous system disease, hypertension and infection.
