Abstract

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency has been related to alterations in nutritional status. Studies show a high prevalence in Latin America and Colombia. It was believed that only countries with little sun exposure (seasonal) were prone to these deficiencies; however, in Bogotá D.C., there is a tendency to avoid sunlight (sunscreen, warm clothing, closed spaces), and in conjunction with other conditions: overweight, obesity and poor nutritional status, could contribute to vitamin D deficiency. Objective: To characterize patients with vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency concerning nutritional status. Methods: A descriptive study with 416 patients (ages six months to 26 years) with vitamin D deficiency were evaluated between January 2015 and July 2019 in private practice in Bogotá, D.C. Results: 62.5 % had vitamin D insufficiency and 37.5 % deficiency. 263 patients had normal nutritional status (63.22 %), followed by overweight (19.24 %). However, according to nutritional status, obesity had a higher deficiency at 58.33 %, acute malnutrition at 57.14 %, and overweight at 40 %. For insufficiency, the most affected were patients at risk of malnutrition at 72.22 %, normal status of 62.73 %, and overweight at 60%. Conclusions: 27.6 % of patients have low vitamin D levels, primarily insufficient. Patients with deficiency had a normal nutritional status.
