Abstract
Zusammenfassung. Vitamin D spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei der Gesundheit. Ziel dieser Untersuchung war es, den Vitamin-D-Spiegel bei Spitalmitarbeitenden aus verschiedenen Alters-, Geschlechts- und Berufsgruppen zu bestimmen. 281 Mitarbeitende nahmen an der Untersuchung teil. Vitamin D (25-OH) wurde im Serum bestimmt, der mittlere Wert betrug 59,5 nmol/l. 43,1 % der Teilnehmenden wiesen einen Vitamin-D-Mangel auf (<50 nmol/l). Niedrige Vitamin-D-Werte korrelierten signifikant mit erhöhtem BMI. Frauen, sportlich Aktive sowie Mitarbeitende in Berufen mit medizinischen Inhalten hatten signifikant höhere Vitamin-D-Werte. Sportliche Aktivität und Substitution wurden als unabhängige Prädiktoren für den Vitamin-D-Spiegel identifiziert. Die Untersuchung verdeutlichte, dass eine vermehrte Sonnenexposition und/oder eine Vitamin-D-Supplementierung angestrebt werden sollte.
Abstract. Vitamin D plays an important role in health. The aim of this study was to determine the vitamin D level in hospital employees from different age, sex and occupational groups. 281 employees took part in the investigation. Vitamin D (25-OH) was determined by serum sample analysis, the mean value was 59.5 nmol/l. 43.1 % of participants showed a vitamin D deficiency (<50 nmol/l). Low vitamin D levels significantly correlated with increased BMI. Women, physically active employees and those in occupations with medical content had significantly higher vitamin D levels. Sports activity and substitution were independent predictors of vitamin D level. The study illustrated that increased sun exposure and/or vitamin D supplementation are needed.
Résumé. La vitamine D joue un rôle important pour la santé. Le but de cette étude était de déterminer le niveau de vitamine D (25-OH) de différents personnels hospitaliers. 281 employés y ont participé. La valeur moyenne de vitamine D était de 59,5 nmol/l. 43,1 % des participants présentaient une carence de vitamine D (<50 nmol/l). Des valeurs faibles de vitamine D sont manifestement liées à l’augmentation du BMI. Les femmes, les sportifs et les employés occupant des postes liés aux activités médicales avaient des niveaux de vitamine D plus élevés. L’activité sportive et la substitution ont été identifiées comme des prédicteurs indépendants. L’étude a montré qu’une augmentation de l’exposition au soleil et/ou une supplémentation en vitamine D devraient être ciblées.
