Relación entre la deficiencia de 25-Hidroxi Vitamina D y la Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 2 en Adultos

Abstract

Abstract: Vitamin D is a fat-soluble steroid with very important functions within the body, both skeletal and extraskeletal. Its deficiency has been implicated in the development of different diseases, including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, which, to this day, is considered a matter of global concern due to its increasing prevalence. The objective of this research was to describe the relationship between the levels of 25 Hydroxy-vitamin D and the incidence and prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Adults. The results of the bibliographic search were studies of clinical importance carried out mainly in Asia and Europe, which shows that this field has not yet been explored in Latin America. It was shown that vitamin D deficiency was not only related to a higher rate of worse diabetes control, but also that its administration can offer important beneficial results in the control of glycemic parameters, however, no causal association between variables.
