Methods Twenty-one obese men with their body mass index （BMI）〉28 kg/m2 served as an obese group and 22 healthy normal-weight men with their BMI〈24 kg/m2 served as a control group in this study. After they were given 50 000 IU of oral VD, once a week for 8 weeks, the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25（OH）D] concentration was measured with an enzyme-immunoassay kit. Results After oral VD supplementation, the serum 25（OH）D concentration significantly increased from 46.1＋9.1 nmol/L to 116.7_＋20.3 nmol/L in the obese subjects （P〈O.01） and from 52.8_＋17.8 nmol/L to 181.3_＋30.2 nmol/L in the control ones （P=0.13）. The serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） level was reduced within the normal reference range in the obese group. However, no significant change was observed in the level of other serum lipids （triglycerides, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol） in either of the two groups. Conclusion The effect of high-dose oral VD supplementation is weaker on VD status in the obese group than in the control group. High-dose oral VD supplementation has no side effect on serum lipid level in obese and control groups.展开更多

Data from the 2011 China Health and Nutrition Survey, comprising a regionally representative sample of 806 healthy adults aged 35 years or older, were obtained to determine the prevalence of five risk factors for NCDs. The prevalence of current smoking, central obesity, impaired fasting glucose, borderline hypertension, and borderline high total cholesterol was 19.97%, 28.29%, 4.47%, 10.55%, and 36.10%, respectively. A total 63.77% of participants had at least one risk factor. Upon examination of risk factor clustering, we observed that 7.57% of participants had at least three risk factors. Using this threshold as a cutoff, clustering of risk factors was associated with sex [odds ratio（OR） = 3.336, 95% confidence interval（CI）： 1.782 to 6.246], physical activity（OR = 1.913, 95% CI： 1.009 to 3.628）, and BMI（OR = 7.376, 95% CI： 3.812 to 14.270）. The prevalence of risk factors for NCDs is fairly high among healthy adults in Shenzhen, with a clustering tendency.展开更多
