lass="h4">Background

Vitamin聽D deficiency has been described in many diseases and indeed in the general population. However fewer reports have been published in young and healthy people. Vitamin聽D deficiency should not be found in medical students of the Canary Islands, because they have all the resources to avoid it.

lass="h4">Objective

To estimate the prevalence of vitamin聽D deficiency in a population of medical students of both gender from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

lass="h4">Methods

103 medical students of both genders from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. They completed a questionnaire and a physical examination. Vitamin聽D (25- hydroxycholecalciferol [25-HCC]), parathyroid hormone, biochemical markers of bone remodeling and a general biochemical study were performed. Bone mineral density was assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry at the lumbar spine and the proximal femur. Quantitative ultrasounds parameters were measured at the calcaneus.

lass="h4">Results

Only 38.8%of the students of Medicine (42.1%of males and 44.9%of females) have 25-HCC values higher than 30 ng/dl as widely recommended nowadays. Vitamin聽D deficiency (<聽20聽ng/ml) is observed in 32.6%and vitamin聽D insufficiency (<聽30聽ng/ml) in 28.6%of the students of Medicine in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

lass="h4">Conclusion

Although they have optimal conditions for having good levels of vitamin聽D, near two thirds of the medical students in the Canaries have low values of vitamin聽D.
