Unlabelled: The relation between vitamin-D (VD) status and healing after hip fracture had not been sufficiently addressed. Currently serum total 25-hydroxy-VD (t-25OHD) is the most widely used indicator of VD status. It is unclear whether free or bioavailable VD are better markers of 25OHD availability for tissues. Validity of overall cut-off values of t-25OHD is limited.
Objectives: (1) Assess serum levels of circulating forms of 25OHD in patients with hip fracture (PwHF: = 199) compared to active controls without history of fracture ( = 102); (2) determine relationship between 25OHD fractions and functional performance after surgery (FPAS) and survival. The t-25OHD; VD binding protein and albumin levels were measured. Comorbidities; lifestyle; FPAS and survival were recorded at seven months. VD deficiency occurred more frequently in PwHF than in controls (72% vs. 38%). Patients with better FPAS showed higher 25OHD in all fractions than with poor FPAS. Controlled by lifestyle; 25OHD levels were independent predictive factors ( < 0.001). Good FPAS values forecasted longer survival (OR: 6.5; < 0.0001). All 25OHD forms showed a tendency to predict survival. Mortality rate decreased to 8% in individuals with t-25OHD levels of >22.6⁻39.5 nmol/L and increased to 14% with >40 nmol/L. These observations highlight the importance of serum 25OHD assessment and moderate VD substitution for healing and survival.

Background: Serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration is the most widely used clinical biomarker for vitamin D status. Under certain physiological and pathological conditions, however, total 25(OH)D may not always be the best index for vitamin D status. Instead, the nonprotein-bound (free) fraction of total 25(OH)D has been suggested as a more appropriate marker in certain clinical situations.

Background And Objective: While all types of vitamin D metabolites are bound to vitamin D binding protein and albumin leaving only a small fraction in its free active form, only serum concentrations of total 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD) are used to determine vitamin D status in clinical practice. This study aimed to describe the association of total 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD), calculated free 25OHD, and free 25OHD% (free 25OHD × 100 %/total 25OHD) with mineral, bone, and metabolic variables and assess the impact of cholecalciferol supplementation.

Clinical trial results indicate that statin therapy aimed at normalising the lipid profile can prevent and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. Both LDL and HDL consist of several subfractions, with only the smallest and densest subfractions being the most atherogenic. We examine the effect of Atorvastatin treatment not only on basic lipid profile parameters but also atherogenic lipoprotein subfractions and 25(OH)D levels in patients after the first acute myocardial infarction.

The aim of our study was to compare the total 25(OH)D fraction, the bioavailable vitamin fraction, and the free vitamin D fraction in spring and fall in a group of healthy individuals. In our study, we collected blood samples from healthy participants at the end of both summer and winter, and measured serum levels of albumin, DBP, and 25(OH)D. Utilizing these data, we calculated the percentage of free and bioavailable vitamin D.
