Journal Title: Santosh University Journal of Health Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction BMI is associated with Vitamin D in pre and postmenopausal women As the estrogen level decreases during menopause this promotes hypovitaminosis D The present study assessed Vitamin D status and found its correlation with BMI in healthy pre and postmenopausal womenMaterials and Methods This crosssectional study was conducted on 100 premenopausal and 100 postmenopausal women Blood samples were collected for estimation of Vitamin D by fully automated Chemi Luminescent Immuno Assay Statistical analyses were done by using Graphpad Prism 6 and Pearson correlation coefficient was computed between Vitamin D and BMIResults The mean levels of weight and BMI were increased significantly in postmenopausal women as compared to premenopausal women and the mean level of Vitamin D was decreased significantly in postmenopausal women as compared to premenopausal In the present study we observed that the BMI is significantly and negatively correlated with Vitamin D concentration in both pre r0549 and postmenopausal r0736 women and it was statistically significantConclusion Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in pre and postmenopausal with BMI greater than 25 kgmeter2 and the decrease in Vitamin D was more in postmenopausal women as compared to premenopausal women and the Vitamin D was negatively associated with BMI in both pre and postmenopausal womenKeywords Postmenopausal BMI Vitamin D Estrogen Osteoporosis
