Determining the Association of Vitamin D and Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Overweight and Obese Adolescents | Chapter 12 | Research Developments in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 6

 Vitamin D inadequacy has been connected to obesity and overweight in minors. Despite high source of nourishment D deficiency, few studies in other nations have found lower parathyroid birth control method (PTH) levels in obese adolescents. The study's aim is to judge vitamin D and PTH levels, as well as their friendship, in overweight and corpulent adolescents in Telangana. This cross-sectional study contained 108 overweight and corpulent boys and girls old 12 to 18. A pretested Questionnaire was used to collect mathematical, sun uncovering, medical, and nutritional record information. Anthropometry and ancestry samples were collected in order to reckon 25 hydroxy vitamin D and PTH. Body bulk index Z scores (WHO growth standards) were used to evaluate adolescent overweight and corpulence. Boys made up 54.6% of the subjects. Mean (SD) levels of source of nourishment D and PTH were 18.25 (9.26) ng/mL and 45.39 (28.23) ng/L respectively. The predominance of vitamin D deficiency and lack in the current study was 54.6% and 25.9% respectively. However, PTH levels were extreme only in 24.2% of subjects ([65 ng/L). Vitamin D and PTH had an inverse but non-meaningful relationship. After ruling for age, gender, and pressure, the association remained the unchanging. Our findings climax the high prevalence of source of nourishment D deficiency between Telangana's overweight and obese teenagers. Despite having a extreme vitamin D deficiency, very few of the teenagers had high PTH levels, suggesting that the source of nourishment D-PTH axis may be changed in overweight and corpulent adolescents.
