The deficiency of vitamin D in children and adolescents in recent years is a topical issue and, according to some authors, it becomes a pandemia. It is commonly known that one of the main functions of vitamin D is to provide phosphorous-calcium metabolism and maintain bone health. The aim of our study was to study the level of 25(OH)D in schoolchildren in Kyiv, to determine the frequency of its deficiency and insufficiency and their correlation with season, obesity and stage of puberty. The level of 25(OH)D was determined in 87 apparently healthy children aged 8–17 using the electrochemiluminescent method. It was found that vitamin D deficiency among schoolchildren in Kyiv was 41%. No age and gender characteristics of the formation of vitamin D deficiency have been established. It has been determined that 25 (OH) D levels in healthy children and adolescents in the winter were 25.3% lower than in the summer period. Relatively lower 25 (OH) D levels were recorded in adolescents in third stage of puberty. Vitamin D deficiency was common among healthy children and required correction, especially in the winter season. |
