Aim:? To study the relationships between 25-hydroxyvitamin D status and blood lipids, insulin, glucose, body mass index and waist circumference in infants. Methods:? In a cross sectional study, 255 infants aged 9 months with a blood sample for 25-hydroxyvitamin D were examined. Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations were analysed by chemiluminescent immunoassay. Associations between plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D and high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, total cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin, glucose, body mass index and waist circumference were analysed. Results:? Mean plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D was 77.2 ± 22.7 nmol/L. At the time of examination, 97% received vitamin D supplementation. 25-hydroxyvitamin D was negatively associated with high density lipoprotein (P=0.003), cholesterol (P=0.002) and triglycerides (P=0.010) in multivariate analysis controlled for gender, season, body mass index, length, birth weight and breastfeeding.
There were no associations between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and glucose or insulin (all P>0.05). 25-hydroxyvitamin D was negatively associated with body mass index (P=0.005) and waist circumference (P=0.002) controlled for gender, season, breastfeeding, birth weight and length.
Conclusion:
Vitamin D status is negatively associated with blood lipids, body mass index and waist circumference in infants where nearly all received vitamin D supplements. Whether this has long term health effects remains to be elucidated.
