Book excerpt: "Pregnancy cohort studies suggest that exposure to insufficient vitamin D status in utero associates with greater fat mass and lower lean mass in children. In Canada, 24-35 % of infants are born with insufficient vitamin D status. The role of maternal factors, such as adiposity, or vitamin D status, and postnatal vitamin D supplementation in relation to lean body mass is unknown. The objectives of this thesis research were: 1) to test the effects of vitamin D on body composition and growth-related hormones in weanling Sprague Dawley rats fed diets with varied vitamin D content (1, 2, or 4 IU/kg) from 4 to 12 weeks of age; 2) to explore the influential factors related to maternal and neonatal vitamin D status and the interrelationships among maternal and neonatal vitamin D status and body composition; and 3) to examine whether correction of insufficient vitamin D status with either 1000 IU/d or 400 IU/d of vitamin D supplementation is associated with body composition (lean and fat mass) across infancy from 1 to 12 months in a randomized controlled trial. Maternal adiposity and low maternal-fetal vitamin D transfer were associated with neonatal adiposity; infants of mothers with elevated BMI and insufficient vitamin D status had 28% higher fat mass versus those of mothers with elevated BMI, yet vitamin D sufficient (P=0.04). This reinforces the need for early strategies to enhance intake of vitamin D supplementation with high adherence for both mothers and infants. The trial in weanling rats indicated that moderate increases in dietary vitamin D attenuated the physiological decline in IGF-1 (P0.05) as a stimulus for lean mass accretion. The trials in human infants and rats, demonstrated that the achievement of higher vitamin D status (25(OH)D50 nmol/L) increases whole body lean mass (4.8-14.0% difference; P

Book excerpt: Background: Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is a worldwide problem that can take an essential part in developing many chronic diseases, including but not limited to type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). There are many factors that can contribute to VDD or make specific populations or individuals at higher risk to develop VDD and its related health consequences. These factors include and are not limited to the ethnic background, body composition, and dietary intake of nutrients. It has been found that South Asian Indians (SAIs) are at higher risk of developing CVD and metabolic syndrome compared to their Caucasian counterparts, and at a younger age. Also, there is a high prevalence of VDD among SAIs living in their countries or in European countries. In addition, SAIs found to have a higher deposition of fat in their visceral areas compared to Caucasians. Considering that many SAIs follow restricted diets (as many follow a vegan or a vegetarian diet), which may put them at higher risk for nutrients deficiencies; it was worthy to investigate the effect of SAI ethnicity, body composition, and micronutrients intake of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and their ratio on the vitamin D status. Vitamin D status can be assessed using serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (s25(OH)D), serum parathyroid hormone(sPTH), and serum vitamin D binding protein (sDBP). Both dietary intake of Ca and Mg were independently associated with s25(OH)D as their deficiencies were associated with VDD. Also, the intake of both is deficient among approximately half of the US population. Some studies' efforts focused on finding the optimal dietary Ca to Mg ratio for optimal health outcomes. Since both Ca and Mg share similarities in the absorption sites and functionality, and since both are independently associated with VDD, it was worth investigating if their dietary intake ratio is associated with vitamin D status among SAIs, Caucasians, and among both of them collectively. Our primary aims were to investigate if biomarkers of vitamin D statusØ+ body composition parameters, and dietary factors are different between SAIs and Caucasians and to understand the relationship between them. Methods: Healthy SAIs and Caucasian men between 22 to 60 years of age were enrolled. Anthropometric and body composition measurements, biochemical analyses for s25(OH)D, sPTH, and sDBP, and habitual dietary intakes of Ca and Mg were obtained. Independent t-test and Mann-Whitney u test were used to report the differences between groups in their vitamin D status, body composition, and dietary intakes. Pearson or Spearman correlations were used to identify the possible associations. A P value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: 30 SAIs and 30 Caucasians completed the study. Both groups did not significantly differ in their age and BMI. SAIs, compared to the Caucasians, had significantly lower s25(OH)D (22.79 ℗ł 9.1 vs 31.24 ℗ł 9.1 ng/mL; P

This book was released on 2017 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bone health development and maintenance is important in children to reduce the risk for osteoporosis later in life. Knowledge on the vitamin D and bone health status of preadolescent children in South Africa is limited. Vitamin D and body composition both play important roles in bone health, but the relationship between adiposity and bone mass in children has been debated. The objective of this study was firstly, to describe the bone health status, body composition and vitamin D status of preadolescent children in Pretoria, South Africa. Secondly, the study examined bone health in relation to body composition and vitamin D status. Methods: A cross-sectional study, using conveniently sampled preadolescent black children aged 5-10, was conducted. Body weight was measured with the Seca medical body composition analyser and height using the Seca 274 stadiometer. Dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used for bone health (bone mineral content (BMC), areal bone mineral density (BMD) and bone area at the total body less the head (TBLH) and lumbar spine (LS) sites) and body composition (body fat percentage, fat mass and lean mass) assessments (n = 84). Vitamin D status (25(OH)D2 and 25(OH)D3) was determined from blood spot analysis (n = 59). To compare bone health means between vitamin D status groups, children were grouped as sufficient (25(OH)D ? 30 ng/ml), insufficient (25(OH)D = 21-29 ng/ml) or deficient (25(OH)D ? 20 ng/ml) accordingly. To compare bone health means between body composition groups, children were grouped as normal (BMIfor- age Z-score ? 1) or over-nourished (BMI-for-age Z-score > 1). Simple linear regression models were used in defining the relationship between bone health parameters and body composition components. Adjustments of bone health parameters for height-for-age, gender, age and body composition components was done using multiple linear regression. Comparison between adjusted bone health parameters of normal and over-nourished were made using the student’s two sample t-test. Results: The 59 children in the vitamin D study groups had a 24% prevalence of low BMD for chronological age and 7% presented with a low BMC for chronological age. A peculiar finding was that LS-BMAD differed significantly between the vitamin D insufficient and deficient groups. There was no relationship between any bone health parameters at all sites measured and serum levels of 25(OH)D (p > 0.05). Fat mass (FM) and body fat percentage least explained the observed variation in bone health parameters, whereas lean mass (LM) was the most important body composition component in explaining the variations observed in bone health parameters. The relationship between LS bone health parameters and body composition components was weaker than the relationship between TBLH bone health parameters and body composition components. Summary and / or Conclusion: In this population, 66% of preadolescents were vitamin D insufficient or deficient, but with a healthy bone health status and 40% of the preadolescents were over-nourished with greater crude BMD than those with healthy BMI Z-scores. Vitamin D status does not appear to be associated with parameters of bone health. Lean mass was the greatest body compositional determinant for variations observed in bone health parameters. Bone health parameters of healthy and over-nourished children did not differ after adjusting for body composition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first demonstration of the existence of a vitamin and the full recognition of this fact are often attributed to the work of McCollum, who found that a sub stance in butterfat and cod-liver oil was necessary for growth and health of ani mals fed purified diets. It became obvious that an organic substance present in microconcentrations was vital to growth and reproduction of animals. Following the coining of the word vitamine by Funk, McCollum named this fat-soluble sub stance vitamin A. We can, therefore, state that vitamin A was certainly one of the first known vitamins, yet its function and the function of the other fat-soluble vitamins had remained largely unknown until recent years. However, there has been an explosion of investigation and new information in this field, which had remained quiescent for at least two or three decades. It is now obvious that the fat-soluble vitamins function quite differently from their water-soluble counter parts. We have learned that vitamin D functions by virtue of its being converted in the kidney to a hormone that functions to regulate calcium and phosphorus metabolism. This new endocrine system is in the process of being elucidated in detail, and in addition, the medical use of these hormonal forms of vitamin D in the treatment of a variety of metabolic bone diseases has excited the medical com munity.

This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood obesity according to the World Health Organization is one of the most serious public health challenges of the 21st century. The proportion of childhood obesity is high both globally and in Sweden. This is of great concern since obese children tend to stay obese in adulthood. In order to develop strategies to prevent early childhood obesity more knowledge is needed regarding factors explaining why children become overweight and obese. Preventive strategies require accurate and easy-to-use methods to assess physical activity in response to energy expenditure as well as energy intake in young children, but such methods are largely lacking or have shown limited accuracy. The aims of this thesis were: 1) to describe the longitudinal development of body composition from 1 week to 4.5 years of age; 2) to study relationships between measures of body composition and the physical activity level (PAL) at 1.5 and 3 years of age; 3) to evaluate if heart rate recording and movement registration using Actiheart can capture variations in total energy expenditure (TEE) and activity energy expenditure (AEE) at 1.5 and 3 years; 4) to evaluate the potential of a 7-day activity diary to assess PAL at 1.5 and 3 years of age; 5) to evaluate a new tool (TECH) using mobile phones for assessing energy intake at 3 years of age. Healthy children were investigated at 1 and 12 weeks (n=44), at 1.5 (n=44), 3 (n=33) and 4.5 (n=26) years of age. Body composition was measured using air-displacement plethysmography at 1 and 12 weeks and at 4.5 years of age. At 1.5 and 3 years, body composition, TEE, PAL and AEE were assessed using the doubly labelled water method and indirect calorimetry. Heart rate and movements were recorded using Actiheart (four days) and physical activities were registered using the 7-day diary. Energy intake was assessed using TECH during one complete 24-hour period. Average percentage of total body fat (TBF) and average fat mass index (FMI) were higher (+3 to +81 %), while fat-free mass index (FFMI) was slightly lower (-2 to -9 %), in children in the study from 12 weeks until 4.5 years of age when compared to corresponding reference values. A relationship between TBF% and PAL was found both at 1.5 and 3 years of age. At 3 years, but not at 1.5 years, this could be explained by a relationship between PAL and FFMI. Actiheart recordings explained a significant but small fraction (8%) of the variation in free-living TEE at 1.5 and 3 years, and in AEE (6 %) at 3 years, above that explained by body composition variables. At 1.5 and 3 years of age, PAL estimated by means of the activity diary using metabolic equivalent (MET) values by Ainsworth et al. was not significantly different from reference PAL, but the accuracy for individuals was low. Average energy intake assessed by TECH was not significantly different from TEE. However, the accuracy for individuals was poor. The results of this thesis suggest that 1) The higher body fatness of the children in the study compared to the corresponding reference values may indicate the presence of a secular trend in body composition development characterized by a high body fatness. 2) Body fatness might counteract physical activity at 1.5 years of age when the capacity to perform physical activity is limited, but not at 3 years of age when such a capacity has been developed. 3) Actiheart recordings explained a significant but small fraction of the variation in TEE at 1.5 and 3 years, and in AEE at 3 years of age, above that explained by body composition variables. 4) The activity diary and TECH produced mean values in agreement with reference PAL and TEE, respectively, but the accuracy for individual children was low. In conclusion, the results of this thesis suggest the presence of a secular trend in body composition development in healthy Swedish children, from infancy up to 4.5 years of age, which is characterized by a high body fatness. Methods to assess physical activity and energy intake at 1.5 and 3 years of age provided some promising results on a group level, although further research is needed to increase the accuracy of these methods in individual children.

Book excerpt: "Background: Vitamin D status is lower in Canadian children who are overweight or obese compared to children of healthy weights. Objective: The objectives of this study are 1) to determine the vitamin D status of overweight and obese children, 2) to examine the association between changes in fat mass (FM) and vitamin D status, and 3) to determine if there is a relationship between regional adiposity and blood concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D).Methods: Data was collected at baseline, and then every 3 months for a one year period, from participants enrolled in the McGill Youth and Lifestyle Intervention with Food and Exercise (MYLIFE) study (NCT01290016); healthy children aged 6-12 y with body mass index (BMI)-for-age >85th percentile were included. Chemiluminescence immunoassay was used to measure plasma 25(OH)D. Standard measurements of weight, height and waist circumference (WC) were taken at each visit; BMI and BMI z-scores were calculated (WHO AnthroPlus, Geneva, Switzerland, 2009). Body composition was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to determine whole body and regional adiposity. Z-scores for adiposity indicators were calculated based on reference data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; children were then separated into tertiles based on these z-scores. Constitutive and facultative skin pigmentation was measured using a hand-held spectrophotometer in order to determine Fitzpatrick skin types. Children were categorized according to cutaneous UVB synthesis period. Ethnicity was self-disclosed and pubertal status was reported at baseline and categorized according to Tanner stages. Differences in 25(OH)D among tertiles of each adiposity indicator (eg: % body fat (%BF), FM, WC) were tested using a mixed model ANOVA. Logistic regression was used to determine the odds ratio of not meeting recommended 25(OH)D cutoffs. Results: Data from 101 children (46 boys and 55 girls) were used in this study. The mean 25(OH)D concentration at baseline was 59.8 ± 1.3 nmol/L, with no significant difference between sexes (p=0.740). Boys had lower %BF (p=0.012), greater BMI z-scores (p=0.001) and greater WC (p=0.013) than girls. After one year, those who decreased FM appeared to have better plasma 25(OH)D than those who maintained or gained FM (59.2 vs. 55.3 nmol/L; p=0.310), although significance was not reached. Every kg increase in FM was associated to increased odds of not reaching plasma 25(OH)D cutoffs of 75 nmol/L (OR: 1.2, 95% CI: 1.1-1.4, p=0.006). Arm fat (OR: 2.6, 95% CI: 1.3-5.2, p=0.009) was associated to greater odds of missing the cutoff than leg fat (OR: 1.6, 95% CI: 1.1-2.3, p=0.009). Android:gynoid fat patterning was not significant (p=0.066). Conclusion: Adiposity in overweight and obese children, irrespective of location, has an inverse relationship with vitamin D status. Therefore, adiposity likely needs to be considered when establishing dietary intake recommendations to match population cutoffs for vitamin D status. Future large-scale longitudinal research is required to examine if a reduction in FM would lead to a significant increase in vitamin D status." --

It primarily argues, by using the concept of international rule of law as an analytical framework, that despite the unique nature, role and powers of the UNSC within the international system, in particular in light of Article 103 of the UN Charter, this body remains bound by certain norms of international law, namely peremptory norms. This is not only a result of the application of international law as a legal system, but also lies at the heart of the emerging notion of international rule of law.

Book excerpt: Results: SBP, DBP, and CRP were significantly positively correlated with all adiposity indicators (%BF, BMI, and WC), while HDL-C showed a significant negative correlation with BMI and WC. Significantly lower serum vitamin D levels were observed in overweight and obese subjects as compared to their normal weight counterparts and regression analyses documented an inverse association between 25 (OH) D and BMI, even after adjustment for age and exercise duration. Dietary intakes of energy, fat and protein were positively associated with overweight in the study sample. --Conclusion: This study has documented a strong inverse relationship between vitamin D status and obesity among Lebanese female adolescents aged 14-19 years, and document a positive association between adiposity and cardiometabolic risk factors in the study population. These findings are of public health concern given that metabolic abnormalities track into adulthood and significantly increase CVD risk. The mechanisms underlying the association between adiposity, vitamin D and cardiometabolic risk warrant further investigations.

Today the term "vitamin" may be considered outdated. This compound may be correctly be called a vitamin only when it is administered to humans or animals that suffer from its deficiency. This book attempts to clarify the role of Vitamin D deficiency in many pathological processes in the whole organism. Chapters in this book cover such issues as the earliest clinical and preclinical investigations of the consequences of Vitamin D deficiency for cognitive, cardiovascular, metabolic, immune, and renal disorders.
