To date, the precise etiology of molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is uncertain. Vitamin D plays a key role in hard tissue formation. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the relationship between serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25(OH)D) status and dental health data obtained from 1,048 children in a 10-year follow-up of the Munich GINIplus and LISAplus birth cohorts. The dental examination included the diagnosis of MIH and recording of (non-)cavitated caries lesions in primary and permanent teeth. Serum 25(OH)D concentrations were taken from blood samples of the 10-year investigation and measured with a fully automated, modular system. Different logistic regression and Poisson hurdle models were calculated. MIH was diagnosed in 13.6% of the study population. Approximately 16.4% of the children demonstrated caries-related defects (D3-4MFS > 0). The mean season-adjusted concentration of 25(OH)D was 75.8 nmol/l (standard deviation 22.0 nmol/l). After adjusting for sex, age, body mass index, parental education, equivalent income, and television/personal computer (TV/PC) viewing hours, a 10 nmol/l increase in serum 25(OH)D concentrations was significantly associated with a lower odds ratio of having MIH (OR = 0.89; P = 0.006). Furthermore, higher 25(OH)D values were associated with a lower number of caries-affected permanent teeth. It is concluded that elevated serum 25(OH)D concentrations were associated with better dental health parameters.

Low vitamin D associated with high parathyroid hormone (PTH) is commonly reported in the context of HIV infection. We determined the association between total 25-hydroxyvitamin-D [25(OH)D] and PTH in adolescents living with HIV, in Zambia and Zimbabwe. Adolescents (11-19 years) perinatally-infected with HIV and established on antiretroviral therapy (ART) for ≥6 months were recruited into a cross-sectional study.

Background: Soluble Alpha-Klotho (S-αklotho) protein and 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) have emerged as potential modulators for activating and recruiting Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT). The present study aimed to investigate whether circulating S-αklotho and 25-OH-D levels are related to BAT volume, Fluorine-Fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) uptake, and BAT radiodensity in young healthy adults.
Methods: A total of 128 participants (68% women) aged 18-25 years old participated in this cross-sectional study.

Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is prevalent globally and in pediatric intensive care units, where it represents a modifiable risk factor that may impact patient recovery during hospitalization. Herein, we performed a retrospective analysis of serum samples from a phase-II randomized placebo-controlled trial involving a single large bolus of 10,000 IU/kg vitamin D3 ingested by critically ill children with VDD (25-OH-D < 50 nmol/L). Targeted and untargeted methods were used to comprehensively measure 6 vitamin D metabolites, 239 lipids, 68 polar metabolites, and 4 electrolytes using a multi-step data workflow for compound authentication.

Background: The correlation between gout patients' 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and their risk of all-cause mortality (ACM) and cardiovascular mortality (CVM) remains inconclusive.
Methods: Data from 7337 gout patients enrolled in the UK Biobank were analyzed, with death data acquired via connection to national death registries. At baseline, serum 25(OH)D levels were measured.
Association Between Post-Transplant Vitamin D, Metabolic Syndrome, and Post Transplant Diabetes Mellitus.

Background: Associations between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) deficiency and diabetes have been observed in the general population, but are less delineated in kidney transplant recipients (KTR), especially in the context of highly-prevalent metabolic syndrome (MetS) features in KTR. We hypothesized that vitamin D deficiency may present greater risk in KTR in those with greater burden of MetS features.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 1792 KTR with no treated diabetes at transplant between 1998 and 2018.
