Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is common for postmenopausal women to receive a vitamin D supplementation prescription to assist in preventing future falls and to maintain bone health. However, the association between vitamin D supplementation and physical fitness components has not been studied in older women with diabetes. OBJECTIVE We examined the influence of 12 months of vitamin D supplementation on the components of physical fitness in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS Thirty-five postmenopausal women (62.48 ± 7.67 years; 154.6 ± 5.11 cm; 73.93 ± 15.43 kg; 31.13 ± 5.82 BMI) with a diagnosis of T2DM participated in this longitudinal study where participants were supplemented with 1000 IU/day of vitamin D over 12 months. Subjects performed fasting blood samples, anthropometric assessments, body composition, clinical exams, and physical tests at 6-month intervals (P0, P6, and P12). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Vitamin D supplementation alone was effective in postmenopausal women in increasing serum vitamin D levels, altering muscle strength levels, promoting improvements in muscle function, as well as preventing and controlling fragility caused by T2DM and aging.

Association of Hypovitaminosis D with Metabolic Syndrome in Postmenopausal Women. J Obstet Gynaecol India 2020; 70:184-188. [PMID: 32476763 DOI: 10.1007/s13224-020-01314-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2019] [Accepted: 04/04/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and metabolic syndrome is spreading like a pandemic globally; postmenopausal women are particularly vulnerable population. Hypovitaminosis D is reported to predispose to various components of metabolic syndrome like dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes and obesity. The purpose of this review is to highlight the recently published evidence, evaluating the association of vitamin D deficiency with metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women. Besides, it emphasizes the long-term risks involved with low vitamin D levels and importance of vitamin D supplementation. Data were obtained from PubMed, Google Scholar and individual searches.
