ResultsĪ total of 169 children were included, with a median age of 9 months, being more prevalent Caucasians (75.7%) and younger than one year old (79.3%). Children were classified into two groups, according to 25-hydroxivitamin D levels (cut-off 30 ng/mL).
A standardized physical examination and structured interviews to the parents were performed. 25-Hydroxivitamin D levels were analyzed. This one year prospective and observational study was conducted on 169 children admitted for acute mild diseases.
The aim of this study was to analyze 25-hydroxivitamin D levels in children younger than 2 years admitted for acute mild diseases in a tertiary hospital in Valencia and its relationship with factors that can be associated with its deficiency. Despite the increasing interest in vitamin D functions, new cases of deficiency have been reported in sunny regions where optimal levels are expected.
