Vitamin D is known as the oldest of all hormones. 7-Dehydrocholesterol is converted to previtamin D3. It becomes a secosteroid when it is later converted to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). A number of factors influence vitamin D3 production, including skin pigmentation, the use of sunscreen lotions, season, latitude, and altitude. Vitamin D is important for bone metabolism and calcium hemostasis. Researchers have linked a deficiency in vitamin D levels to a number of systemic complications, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, immune deficiency, and infectious diseases. In orthodontics, laboratory studies have revealed some evidence that vitamin D enhances tooth movement and the stability of the tooth position. This review is an attempt to understand the role and systemic consequences of vitamin D deficiency and to examine its relevance to orthodontics.

“…Similarly, Li et al observed vitamin D deficiency in 72% of healthy postmenopausal women; no relationship between 25-(OH) D concentration and BMI was noted [ 40 ]. Studies on healthy perimenopausal women in Cathar showed that the majority of respondents struggled with serious vitamin D deficiency (the average level was 19.8 ng/mL) [ 41 ]. Similar results were obtained by researchers from Brazil, who observed vitamin D deficiency in the elderly, especially in women [ 42 ].…”

(1) The perimenopausal period and menopause are physiological stages of a woman’s life, and they may result in the occurrence of many health problems. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of sociodemographic factors related to the use of stimulants and the presence of menstruation and vitamin D concentration in women’s health based on the analysis of their body composition parameters. (2) The study was carried out among 191 women. The diagnostic poll method was used, the levels of serum vitamin D were tested, and a body composition analysis was carried out. (3) Correlations between the vitamin D serum concentration and the following factors were established: adipose tissue mass (%) (rho = −0.18; p = 0.011), visceral adipose tissue (rho = −0.18; p = 0.014), BMI (rho = −0.22; p = 0.002), muscle mass (rho = −0.19; p = 0.008), osseous tissue mass (rho = −0.18; p = 0.013), and the phase angle value (rho = −0.2; p = 0.005). A statistically significant correlation between adipose tissue mass (Mdn = 34.4 vs. 32.2; p = 0.018; η2 = 0.029), visceral adipose tissue (Mdn = 8 vs. 6; p = 0.000; η2 = 0.106), and metabolic age (Mdn = 49 vs. 42; p = 0.000; η2 = 0.098) exists. (4) The following conclusions were made: (i) Menstruating women were characterized by increased body composition parameters, especially adipose tissue mass, visceral adipose tissue, and metabolic age. Greater muscle and osseous masses were noted in regularly menstruating women. (ii) A correlation between the vitamin D concentration and body composition parameters in the studied women was observed.

Background: Hypovitaminosis D is a global public health problem. In Algeria, little work is done on the epidemiology of vitamin D deficiency targeting all at-risk populations. Objectives: The main objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in healthy young adults. The secondary objectives are to identify the determinants of vitamin D status and to analyze the correlations between plasma calcidiol levels and other parameters of phosphocalcic metabolism. Material and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive, prospective and multicentric epidemiological survey of 945 subjects belonging to the Region of Blida (Algeria), assessment of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, parathormone, alkaline phosphatase and albumin for each subject. The study also included a questionnaire to identify the determinants of vitamin D status in this population. Results: There is a high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D (calcidiol < 30 ng/ml), with 92.6% of subjects affected, of whom 27.5% had an insufficiency (calcidiol 20 -29 ng/ ml), however 65.1% of subjects were deficient (calcidiol < 20 ng/ml). No significant correlation was detected between 25-hydroxy-vitamin D and plasma calcium (R=0.051; P=0.115), a significant positive correlation was found between 25-hydroxy-vitamin D and phosphorus (R=0.146; P< 0,05). A negative correlation was detected between calcidiol and parathormone (R= -0.886; P< 0,05) and between calcidiol and alkaline phosphatase (R= -0.828; P< 0,05). Based on multivariate analysis, the 3 top risk factors that were associated with hypovitaminosis D are sun exposure time <30 min (adjusted OR =202.11, [95% CI]: 48.91; 835.10; P< 0,05), lack of knowledge about vitamin D (adjusted OR =46.45; [95% CI]: 20.84 ;103.52; P< 0,05), and dark phototype (adjusted OR =39.67; [95% CI]: 14.31; 109.99; P< 0,05). Conclusions: Hypovitaminosis D can be considered a public health problem in Algeria affecting young healthy populations. It is necessary to develop multisectorial programs in order to better address risk factors, particularly modifiable ones, and develop a strategy for prevention and care.
