Risk factors associated with glomerular filtration rate in Mexican adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is related to glomerular filtration rate (GFR) impairment, which is one of the main causes of chronic kidney disease. The objective of this study was to identify the risk factors related to GFR in Mexican adults with T2DM, using a validated multiple linear regression model (MLRM), with emphasis in body adiposity, glycemic control, duration of the diabetes and other relevant risk factors.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional, analytical, and observational study was carried out in 252 adults with a previous diagnosis of T2DM.

Determinants of Vitamin D Status in Healthy Young Adults from Mexico City.

Background And Aims: Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem. The determinants of this deficiency have not been evaluated in developing countries such as Mexico. Thus, this study aimed to determine vitamin D intake and sun exposure and its relationship with plasma concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D -25(OH)D- in young adults from Mexico City.
