I found a news related to diabetes, which reads: "The deficit of vitamin D is closely related to diabetes, according to a study"
Vitamin D deficiency is mainly related to diabetes, regardless of the degree of obesity of the subject, according to an investigation found by the Biomedical Research Center in Red-Pathophysiology of Obesity and Nutrition (CIBERobn), under the Institute of Health Carlos III.
The study, led by the group of the Dr. Francisco J. Tinahones, and published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, intended precisely to discover if such relationship existed.
The study concluded that obese patients, without diabetes and related disorders, had higher levels of vitamin D than diabetic subjects, regardless of their body mass index (BMI).
Roasted or cooked salmon is rich in vitamin D
"The data of the article, that we have just published, linked vitamin D deficiency with diabetes, more closely than with obesity, and this finding encouraged to design tests to demonstrate whether vitamin D have a preventive effect", explains Tinahones.
For this study, 118 patients were enrolled and were classified by body mass, index in normal weight, overweight, obese and morbidly obese. In addition, they were subdivided according to their glycemic status in normoglycemic, prediabetic and diabetic.
After comparing the results of the clinical trial, the researchers extracted new data, that conclude that subjects, with diabetes and prediabetes, whether or not obesity, have deficient levels of vitamin D.
Conversely, subjects with obesity and who are metabolically healthy, approximately 20% of obese, have similar levels of vitamin D, to healthy thin.
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with a significantly increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and increased risk of developing certain diseases such as cancer, hypertension, cardiovascular disease or multiple sclerosis.
In addition, it has been found that people, who have low levels of vitamin D, are more likely to have diabetes.
Vitamin D deficiency is common, in both obese subjects and patients with diabetes. However the relationship vitamin D, obesity and diabetes had not been tested so far, hence the importance of this research.
What interesting it is!; Is not it?.
Well, until my next post, kind regards,
Luis.
