Abstract

Objective: Asthma and obesity are important public health problems that affect millions of people in the world. Recently it has been shown that vitamin D may affect the prevalence of allergic disease and obesity. In this study, we evaluated the correlations between vitamin D, asthma, obesity and severity of asthma. Materials and Methods: One hundred and nineteen subjects were included in the study. The study population consisted of four ageand sex-matched groups: Obese asthmatic children as group 1 (n:34), non-obese asthmatic children as group 2 (n:28), obese nonasthmatic children as group 3 (n:30) and non-obese non-asthmatic children as group 4 (n:27). Results: There was no significant difference in serum vitamin D levels between groups. Also there was no difference between groups when we compared the serum vitamin D levels according to the severity of asthma.Conclusion: There was no correlation between levels of serum vitamin D and presence of asthma and obesity.

Özet

Giriş: Astım ve obesite dünya genelinde milyonlarca insanı etkileyen önemli toplumsal sağlık sorunlarındandır. Son yıllarda vitamin D'nin allerjik hastalıkların ve obezitenin prevelansında etkisi olabileceği ileri sürülmüştür. Bu çalışmada vitamin D düzeyleri ile astım, obezite varlığı ve astım şiddeti arasındaki ilişki araştırılmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 119 olgu dahil edildi. Yaş ve cinsiyete göre eşleştirilmiş dört çalışma grubu oluşturuldu: Obezite ve astımı olanlar Grup I (n:34), normal kilolu astımlılar Grup II (n:28), astımı olmayan obez hastalar Grup III (n:30), normal kilolu ve astımı olmayan kontrol grubu Grup IV (n:27) olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Serum 25 hidroksi vitamin D düzeyleri açısından dört grup karşılaştırıldığında aralarında fark saptanmadı. Hastalar astım şiddetlerine göre serum vitamin D düzeyleri açısından karşılaştırıldığında gruplar arasında fark saptanmadı.Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, çalışmamızda serum 25 hidroksi vitamin D düzeyleri ile astım, obezite ve atopi varlığı arasında ilişki saptanmamıştır.
