Osteopenia and increased fracture rates are well-recognized in adults with CF, but neither the specific contributions of cortical and trabecular bone deficits to bone fragility nor their presence in youth with CF are well-characterized. This study sought to characterize cortical and trabecular volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), geometry, and biomechanical competence in children with CF and determine...
To assess vitamin D (Vit-D) [serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) concentrations] in children and young adults with perinatally acquired HIV compared to geographically similar healthy children.25-OHD in children and young adults with HIV was compared to a healthy group. Vit-D deficiency and insufficiency were defined as 25-OHD <11 ng/mL and 25-OHD <30 ng/mL, respectively.Children with HIV (n = 81),...
To examine vitamin D status in children with sickle cell disease (SCD)-SS and its relation to season and dietary intake.Growth, dietary intake, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), and parathyroid hormone levels were measured. Children with low and normal vitamin D status were compared. Low vitamin D status was defined as a serum concentration of 25-OHD <27.5 nmol/L. Serum 25-OHD and parathyroid hormone...
