“…Hypothetically, “therapeutic use of Vitamin D may therefore have positive effects on insulin sensitivity and perhaps also hyperandrogenemia in patients with PCOS” 55 . Research has shown an inverse relationship between 25(OH)D and waist circumference in both children56, 57 and adults 58 . Worstman et al.…”

Objectives Vitamin D deficiency leads to a myriad of healthcare problems from cardiovascular, metabolic, endocrine, and neurological disorders to cancer. However, the role of vitamin D deficiency in the etiopathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is unclear. This study aimed to measure objectively the impact of vitamin D deficiency on PCOS through a quantitative assessment of the existing literature. Methods We conducted a systematic search of published literature on the following online databases using EndnoteX7: MEDLINE, EBSCO, ScienceDirect, and CINAHL. Searches were limited to full-text English-language journal articles published between 2006 and 2016. Eligible clinical studies employed control group data to investigate the association between vitamin D deficiency and PCOS. Results We identified 10 studies eligible for this meta-analysis. The summary intervention effect calculated for this meta-analysis yields a value of −0.45 with a confidence interval of −1.68 to 0.79, supporting the hypothesis that lower concentrations of serum vitamin D play a role in the hormonal and metabolic dysregulation seen in PCOS. Conclusions Lower concentrations of serum vitamin D are associated with a greater risk of developing PCOS. However, the therapeutic effect of vitamin D in the setting of PCOS remains unclear and must be determined by future interventional studies.

“…Kidney volume was calculated using the following formula -length x width x anterior posterior diameter x 0.523 (26). Glomerular filtration rate was estimated (eGFR) using the Schwartz formula, adjusted to ml/min.1.73m 2 and levels of normal, hyperfiltration and low filtration rate according to sex and age were used (27).…”

“…Despite the increased occurrence of overweight and obese children in young age 15 , studies in Bulgaria about the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency for this particular age group are lacking. We aimed to perform a pilot research on vitamin D status in normal and overweight prepubertal children evaluating its seasonality and interrelations with anthropometric indexes and biomarkers related to the metabolic risk.…”

The extensive NHANES research, conducted between 2001-2004 by the Centre for Control and Disease Prevention in the USA, involving about 10000 children (1-21 years), indicates that 9% of them have severe vitamin D deficiency (under 37.5nmol/L), and 61% display levels between 37.5 and 72.5nmol/L. 4 A study on vitamin D status for children in the preadolescent age, carried out in the USA, reveals that 48% of the residents, living at the middle latitude of 44о are vitamin D deficient (<50nmol/L) all year round. Those from more southern regions, with middle latitude of 32°, experience vitamin D deficiency only during the winter season. 5
