[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 7pEq8R0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Low circulating concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) D) are associated with adverse health outcomes in diverse populations. However, 25 (OH) D concentrations vary seasonally with varying exposure to sunlight, so single measurements may poorly reflect long-term 25 (OH) D exposure. The authors investigated cyclical trends in average serum 25 (OH) D concentrations among 2,298 individuals enrolled in the Cardiovascular Health Study of community-based older adults (1992-1993). A sinusoidal model closely approximated observed 25 (OH) D concentrations and fit the data significantly better than did a mean model (P <0.0001). The mean annual 25 (OH) D concentration was 25.1 ng/mL (95 % confidence interval : 24.7,25.5), and the mean peak-trough difference was 9.6 ng/mL (95 % confidence interval : 8.5,10.7). Male sex, higher latitude of study site, and greater physical activity levels were associated with larger peak-trough difference in 25 (OH) D concentration (each P <0.05). Serum concentrations of intact parathyroid hormone and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase also varied in a sinusoidal fashion (P <0.0001), inversely to 25 (OH) D. In conclusion, serum 25 (OH) D varies in a sinusoidal manner, with large seasonal differences relative to mean concentration and laboratory evidence of biologic sequelae. Single 25 (OH) D measurements might not capture overall vitamin D status, and the extent of misclassification could vary by demographic and behavioral factors. Accounting for collection time may reduce bias in research studies and improve decision-making in clinical care.
