Introduction: Old age is defined as late adulthood and is an important part of human’s life. This is the time of life, when exist the real risk of 25OH vitamin D3 deficiency.
Aim: The aim of the study was find out the connections between concentration of 25OH vitamin D3 in blood and anthropometrics and biochemical results depending on diseases in persons above 65 years.
Materials and methods: The research was conducted among patients hospitalized on Endocrinology Department of Hospital in Poland in 2012. Among research group chosen 50 persons which met the inclusion criteria: as age above 65 years. As a correct value of concentration of 25OH vitamin D3 in blood was adopted the level above 30 ng/dl, deficiency level 12–30 ng/dl, for the severe deficiency value below 12 ng/dl. The results were collected and analyzed in STATISTICA 10 program (statistical significance α=0.05).
Results: The research were conducted among persons in age 65–82 years. Mean concentrations (±S.D.) 25OH vitamin D3 was 20.8±7.2 ng/dl. Among 80% of researched group was observed deficiency of concentration of 25OH vitamin D3, in this group 10% of researched persons had a severe deficiency Significant statistical differences were observed between concentration of 25OH vitamin D3 and waist circumference (P=0.022). It was also a statistically significant correlation between serum 25OH vitamin D3 and WHtR index (P=0.018).
Conclusions: The results indicated that the lower concentrations of 25OH vitamin D3 were accompanied with higher value of index WHtR and higher values of waist circumference.
