Özet:

 


Objectives:
Individuals with joint hypermobility (JH) constitute a sensitive group with
regard to musculoskeletal problems. This study aimed to investigate whether
females with generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) are at risk of
hypovitaminosis D compared with non-GJH female participants and whether there
is a relationship between vitamin D levels, Beighton score and musculoskeletal
complaints. 


Methods: In this
cross-sectional, descriptive and case-control study, 76 female participants aged
18-25 years were included. The Beighton score with a cut-off of 4/9 was applied
for defining GJH. In addition, serum biochemical (the enzymatic colorimetric
method) and hormonal (the electrochemiluminescence method) parameters were
evaluated. 


Results: The mean
serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels of GJH (n = 38) and non-GJH (n = 38)
groups were 15.70 ± 7.96 ng/mL and 16.80 ± 5.45 ng/mL, respectively. There was
no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of
biochemical and hormonal parameters. We found vitamin D deficiency in 89.5% of
participants with GJH, and 84.2% of controls. There was no correlation between
vitamin D, Brighton criteria, and musculoskeletal complaints. 









Conclusion: The
female participants with GJH showed similar frequency of musculoskeletal
complaints and similar low level of 25(OH)D in relation to controls.
