"Clinical Vitamin D Deficiency Linked to Depression in Older Adults"

Overall, about one-quarter of the cohort (25.2%) had depressive symptoms, they report. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 22.6% in the 85.4% of adults with 25(OH)D levels less than 30 ng/mL and 25.8% in the 51.4% of adults with 25(OH)D levels less than 20 ng/mL.

The prevalence of depression was highest (35.0%) in the 9.8% of the cohort with 25(OH)D levels less than 10 ng/mL (clinical deficiency).

The prevalence ratio for depressive symptoms in those with clinical vitamin D deficiency, relative to the remainder of the sample, was 1.45, the team notes, and the population-attributable fraction calculated from this was 4.2%.

In logistic regression analyses, associations between the 3 deficiency states and depression were significant before adjustment for covariates. After adjustment for age, sex, social class, season, smoking status, body mass index, long-standing limiting illness, and subjective general health status, only the association with clinical vitamin D deficiency remained significant and independent (odds ratio, 1.46; 95% confidence interval, 1.02 – 2.08; P = .04).
