Abstract:

Objectives: to analyze vitamin D insufficiency and associated factors in the elderly assisted in Primary Health Care. Methods: cross-sectional study that evaluated 533 elderly people (≥60 years) in three cities in the state of São Paulo-Brazil. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 OH D) was evaluated by chemiluminescence (values <30ng/mL adopted as insufficiency). The factors evaluated were sociodemographic conditions (gender, age group, ethnicity, education, income, marital status), health (referred diseases), body composition (BMI, waist circumference), lifestyle (physical activity and smoking), and sun exposure (purpose, duration, frequency and time of exposure, exposed parts, use of sunscreen, skin type). Results: the prevalence of insufficiency was 64,5%, with an association for females, non-white/undeclared ethnicity, low weight, high waist circumference (with risk for CVD) and physical inactivity. There was a negative association with habitual sun exposure of hands, arms and legs, during leisure activity, daily commuting and physical activity and between 9 and 15 hours. Conclusion: the results show the relevance of factors such as sex, ethnicity, body composition, physical activity and sun exposure habits in the high prevalence of inadequate vitamin D levels in the elderly.
