QUERALES, Marvin Isaac et al. Vitamin D in patients with Metabolic Syndrome from Valencia City, Venezuela.. An Venez Nutr [online]. 2013, vol.26, n.2, pp.78-85. ISSN 0798-0752.

Among the nonclassical effects of vitamin D highlights its association with cardiovascular system, strongly associating your decline to risk factors that define the metabolic syndrome (MS). That is why the aim of this study was to assess vitamin D levels in patients with MS and link components. Was study 31 subjects with MS attending internal medicine clinics at the Venezuelan Institute of Social Security, “Dr. Luis Guada Lacau” and the Ambulatory Urban “Dr. Miguel Franco” of Naguanagua, Edo. Carabobo during the first quarter of 2011. At the same they were measured the levels of 25 - (OH)-vitamin D, waist circumference, blood pressure, lipid profile and glucose, and the atherogenic index and the ratio TG/HDL-c. 54% of participants had insufficient levels of Vitamin D, associated statistically elevated LDL-c (chi-square=3.77, p-value=0.052), also showing average and positive correlation with the values of this lipoprotein (r=0.3813, p-value=0.0350) and LDL-C/HDL-C relationship (r=0.3820, p-value=0.0340). No statistically significant differences were found between the parameters evaluated by dividing the sample according to the presence or absence of vitamin D insufficiency (Student’s t and Wilcoxon- U Mann-Whitney test). The results confirm the hypothesis that vitamin D deficiency may be considered a risk factor for developing MS, suggesting future conducting research that contributes to deepen the involvement of the failure of this vitamin and its possible interaction with other factors nonclassical cardiovascular risk.
