Resumo: |
Low serum concentrations of vitamin D are found in different countries and studies seek to clarify the association of vitamin D with extra-osseous diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases. Thickening of the carotid intima-media complex is an important predictor of future cardiovascular events and can be obtained through the study of Doppler ultrasound, a non-invasive and low-cost test. The objective of this research was to investigate the relationship between serum concentrations of vitamin D levels and the thickness of the carotid mid-intimal complex, in military personnel from the Brazilian Army of Santa Maria-RS. We evaluated 51 military personnel in a military organization in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. The soldiers were evaluated through sociodemographic feeding, measurement of thickness with carotid intima-media complex, laboratory tests and anthropometric measurements. Deficient and insufficient serum concentrations of vitamin D were identified in the sample in 7.8% and 29.4%, respectively. Serum vitamin D concentration and carotid intima-media complex thickness showed no statistically significant association. Carotid intima-media complex measurements showed a positive association with waist hip ratio, glucose, triglycerides and career time. The study did not trigger an association between vitamin D and carotid intima-media complex thickening, but the sample size was insufficient. Thus, more studies are needed on the subject in this specific public. The presented results are useful for the creation of future actions to promote the health of the military. |
