Predictors of vitamin D deficiency among recently immigrated pre-school children: A TARGet Kids! study
Names, Organizational Affiliations, and Locations of all Authors
Introduction/Purpose
Jessica Omand, University of Toronto, was a recipient of the first partnered award between CFDR and CIHR. The Master’s Award was offered through SHOPP (Small Health Organizations Partnership Program).
Objective(s)/Process or Summary of Content
Primary objective : to determine whether children older than 1 year of age from non-western immigrant families have lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels than children from western born families
Secondary objective : to examine whether known dietary, environmental or biological determinants of 25hydroxyvitamin D influence this relationship
Secondary objective : to examine whether known dietary, environmental or biological determinants of 25hydroxyvitamin D influence this relationship
Method(s)/Systemic Approach Used
Results/Conclusions
Conclusions(s)/Recommendations
Children from non-western immigrant families may be at increased risk of lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration.
Almost 2-fold increased odds of 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels less than 50 nmol/L.
The observed 25-hydroxyvitamin D mean difference between immigration groups could largely be explained by known vitamin D determinants.
Vitamin D supplementation had the strongest confounding effect.
