Children Who Lack of Vitamin D Vulnerable Diabetes


During this time, vitamin D deficiency is associated with more bone loss and the risk of heart disease. Recent research shows that vitamin D deficiency is also associated with the risk of obesity and diabetes or diabetes.

The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, said obese children tend to be deficient in vitamin D. Conversely, lack of vitamin D also makes children more vulnerable to type 2 diabetes associated with obesity.

In that study, Micah Olson, MD of Phoenix Children's Hospital observed 411 children with obesity problems and compares with 89 children who are not too fat. All the participants involved were aged between 6 and 11 years old.

In addition to measuring weight and height, Dr. Olson also conduct interviews related to diet and eating habits of the participants. In addition, he also do blood tests to look for certain levels of vitamin D in the blood of the participants observed.

The results are as expected, participants who were obese had a three times greater risk for a deficiency of vitamin D. Likewise who have lower vitamin D levels, insulin or blood sugar-regulating hormone more resistant making it more vulnerable to diabetes.

When compared with the diet and diet, Dr. Olson back see the close relationship. Participants who are obese tend never a nutritious breakfast, but all day snacking sweet foods and drink soda sugar content is very high.

Dr. Olson also look at other possibilities in relation to physical activity. Quoted from Menshealth.com,  the sun helps the formation of vitamin D so that if the child is less sport out then that child tend to be fat and deficient in vitamin D.
