人群维生素D水平检测的必要性

Essentiality of the detection of vitamin D level in population

维生素D是维持人体健康必不可少的营养素,其作为细胞核类固醇超家族激素成员具有调节钙磷代谢的经典作用和影响细胞增殖分化等非经典作用。流行病学研究表明维生素D缺乏除与骨代谢疾病、肿瘤、心衰等常见多发慢性疾病相关外,也是传染病和自发免疫性疾病易感的危险因素。针对目前中国人群维生素D水平偏低的现状,有必要在中国人群中普及维生素D水平检测以及对重点人群进行筛查。

Vitamin D is the essential nutrient for health in the human body.It possesses the classic action to regulate calcium and phosphate metabolism and non-classic action including function on cell proliferation and differentiation as a member of the superfamily of nuclear steroid.Epidemiologic evidence links poor vitamin D status to many common chronic diseases such as bone metabolism disease,tumor,and heart failure,as well as susceptibility to infection and autoimmune diseases.Because of the lower vitamin D status in Chinese population,it is necessary to popularize the detection of vitamin D and to screen the targeted people.
