| Abstract | Objectives:This study was designed to determine mean serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvita-min D (25OHD) in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density (BMD), to find the cutoff of parathormone (PTH) elevation, and to evaluate the correlation 25OHD with BMD, biochemical parameters and vertebral fracture presence.Methods: Transversal study, with collection of 25OHD and PTH, and determination of DMO and column radiograph.Results: A high incidence of inade-quate serum concentrations of 25OHD (68.3%) was found and 8% of secondary hyperparathyreoi-dism. No significant differences were found between 25OHD serum concentrations and the evalu-ated parameters, except for PTH, which showed a negative association. The established cutoff was 61.5 nmol/L. Conclusions: The elevated incidence of hipovitaminosis D in elderly women with low BMD suggests that a systematic evaluation of 25OHD serum concentrations must be done for this population. The use of 61.5 nmol/L as a cutoff is recommended until the realization of an epidemio-logic study that represents all Rio de Janeiro city (RJ, Brazil). |
