THE USE OF VITAMIN D IN CHILDREN WITH OBESITY, ITS EFFECTIVENESS ON CARBOHYDRATE AND LIPID METABOLISM

FULL TEXT:

Abstract

The original article presents the results of dynamic changes in the clinical picture, as well as carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in children with obesity when using vitamin D. The results of the study are recommended for widespread implementation in the practical activities of general practitioners of central district polyclinics of primary health care. The aim of the study: to optimize the treatment regimen for abdominal obesity in children using differentiated doses of vitamin D. Materials and methods: 30 children with abdominal obesity were subject to dynamic observation. A set of anthropometric, clinical, and biochemical studies was conducted to determine the level of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, as well as vitamin D. The effectiveness of differentiated doses of vitamin D in the complex treatment of abdominal obesity was assessed. Study results: It was revealed that the use of differentiated doses of vitamin D depending on the degree of obesity contributed to the improvement of the clinical picture of the disease, with a tendency for positive dynamics of BMI, SDS BMI, and a significant improvement in the ratio of WC to OB. It also contributed to the improvement of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, which is the prevention of the development of comorbid pathology in children with abdominal obesity and prevents the development of metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: as part of the complex therapy of abdominal obesity in children, it is necessary to administer vitamin D with dosage calculation depending on the degree of obesity.
