Vitamin D Deficient Rickets: A Disease of the Past? Diane Dooley MD Carreno de Miranda – Eugenia Martinez Valleji – La Monstrua Court painter 1671

History of Vitamin D Deficiency 1645 Whistler describes symptoms of rickets 1869 Trousseau: Rickets caused by lack of sun exposure and unhealthy diet. Cod-liver oil therapeutic Welch 1900-almost all children younger than 2 years affected by rickets in urban areas 1930s – Use of cod liver oil becomes standard Rx for rickets. 166 Cases of rickets described in US in the medical literature 1986-2003 2008 – AAP recommends minimum daily intake of 400 IU daily Vitamin D

Vitamin D Deficient States Rickets Peak incidence 3-18 months Defective bone growth due to lack of mineralization at growth plate Hypocalcemic seizures Growth failure, lethargy, irritability Delay in gross motor development, bone pain

Vitamin D Deficient states Rickets Bowing or widening of physis Costochondral beading (rachitic rosary) Craniotabes Delayed closure of anterior fontanel Dental abnormalities Flaring of ribs at diaphragm Defective bone growth results from lack of normal mineralization of cartilage at the growth plate (physis) at the ends of growing bones. The resulting bone becomes softer than normal and prone to bowing in weight bearing bones. The typical appearance of the growing ends of the bones results from the failure of mineralization at the zone of provisional calcification and includes:widening and irregularity of the growth plate ("fraying")widening of the metaphyseal end of the bone ("splaying")concavity of the metaphysis ("cupping")

Vitamin D Deficient States Adult Vitamin D deficiency implicated in Increased infections Autoimmune diseases (Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid arthritis) Cancer Type 2 Diabetes Bipolar disorder, schizophrenia Type I Diabetes in childhood Maternal Vitamin D status associated with adverse outcomes of pregnancy – miscarriage, preeclampsia, preterm birth One year-old vitamin D-deficient children reported to have 4X higher risk of developing type 1 DM Multiple sclerosis risk higher in people living above 35 degrees latitude

Laboratory diagnosis Vitamin D status- 25(OH)-D levels Deficiency <37.5 nmol/mL Insufficiency 37.5-50 nmol/mL Sufficiency >50 (?) nmol/mL Severe deficiency states associated with: Data in adults suggest higher cut off of 80 – impaired calcium absorption, lower bone density seen at less than Ca,PO4, Alk Phos, PTH

Sources of Vitamin D- Food Less than 10%! Natural Food Sources: Egg Yolk 20-25/yolk Shrimp 152/100gm Tuna 224-332/100gm Canned salmon 624/100gm Fortified Food Sources: Vitamin D milk 400/L Formula 400/L Cereal 40/serving Yogurt 89/100gm Intakes of milk lower in Blacks due to lactose intolerance

Sources of Vitamin D - Sun UVB light converts cholesterol in skin into D3 Dark skinned people require a longer duration of sun exposure for adequate production of Vitamin D Asian Indian person requires 3 times and black person 6-10 times as much UV-B exposure than light skinned people to achieve equivalent vitamin D Concentrations Clothing and sunscreen decrease Vitamin D synthesis Subclinical rickets common in Saudi Arabia, veiled Kuwaiti women Blook wool twice as effective in absorbing UV-B radiation Sunscreen 8 decreases Vitamin D sythesis by 95% Adequate Vitamin D synthesis: exposure to midday sun (10 – 3 pm) 10-15 minutes in spring, summer, and fall for light skinned. Less UVB light is available in the winter months, higher latitudes, and with cloud cover and air pollution

Why do breast fed babies need supplemental Vitamin D? Breast milk contains little vitamin D 25-78 IU/day Rates of vitamin D deficiency in breastfed infants up to 78% in winter Limited sun exposure AAP: infants less than 6 months should be kept out of direct sunlight Vitamin D important for fetal skeletal development, tooth enamel formation and perhaps general general fetal growth and development during pregnancy, possibly correlated with birth weight 12% in one study less than 37.5, rates higher in black (42%) women Higher rates in premature infants Prenatal vitamins containing 400 Iu of vitamin D3 have little effecting on materinal vitamin D levels during winter months Iowa: 78% of unsupplemented breastfed infants less than 27.5 Concentration of D in breast milk varies by skin color Usual presentation in late winter or early spring at 6-12 months with hypocalcemia – spring tetany Iowa 23% less than 27

Why do breast fed babies need supplemental Vitamin D? High rates of Vitamin D maternal deficiency Pittsburgh study at birth: Black women 29% deficient 54% insufficient White women 5% deficient 42% insufficient 12% in one study less than 37.5, NHANES black (42%) women <37.5 400 women in Pittsburgh 90% used prenatal vitamins Deficient <37.5 Insufficient 37.5 – 80 Sufficient >80 At delivery, 29% of black women deficient, 54 % insufficient; 45% of black neonates deficient, 47% insufficient 5% of White women deficient, 42% insufficient; 10% of white neonates deficient, 56% insufficient Variations by season more marked for white women vs. black women – 23 nmol (white) and 16 nmol black winter to summer

Preventing Vitamin D deficiency Breastfed and partially breastfed infants should be supplemented with 400 IU/day of vitamin D beginning in the first few days of life. Supplementation should be continued unless the infants is weaned to at least 1L/day of vitamin D-fortified formula or fortified milk. TriViSol contains 400 IU per ml Age of direct sunlight exposure more important than total sunlight exposure over lifetime in determining risk of skin cancer AAP guidelines for decreasing sunlight exposure: Children less than 6 months should be kept out of direct sunlight,

Unanswered questions Sun exposure recommendations Supplementation of children not breastfeeding Maternal supplementation recommendations Screening for Vitamin D deficiency Increasing consumption of Vitamin D fortified foods/drinks Vitamin D important for fetal skeletal development, tooth enamel formation and perhaps general general fetal growth and development during pregnancy, possibly correlated with birth weight Prenatal vitamins containing 400 Iu of vitamin D3 have little effecting on materinal vitamin D levels during winter months Iowa: 78% of unsupplemented breastfed infants less than 27.5 Usual presentation in late winter or early spring at 6-12 months with hypocalcemia – spring tetany Iowa 23% less than 27
