ABSTRACT

Objective: To know the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in older adults with and without hip fracture in a third level hospital.
Material and Method: An observational, descriptive, retrospective and crosssectional study was conducted in elderly patients from August 1st 2016 to August 1st 2017. For their analysis, they were divided into two groups, one group with a hip fracture and the other without a fracture history. Demographic data, levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin-D [25(OH)D] and PTH were collected. Vitamin D deficiency was defined according to Holick’s classification.
Results: There were included 58 patients, each group with 29. The levels of 25(OH) D were, on average, 18.24 ± 7.8 ng/mL in all patients, with differences between the groups of fractured vs non-fractured: 14.83 ± 5.28 ng/mL vs 21.66 ± 7.45 ng/ mL, respectively; p ‹ 0.001. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 63.7%, being higher in the fractured group compared to those without this background: 86.2% vs 41.4%.
Conclusions: Deficiency of vitamin D is high in the population of elderly adults and its frequency is increased with age.
