Resumo

Introdução: Deficiência de vitamina D e obesidade foram associadas a um pior controle da asma em países desenvolvidos, embora essa relação ainda não esteja devidamente estabelecida. Assim, o presente estudo visa avaliar a relação entre deficiência de vitamina D, controle da asma e a condição nutricional em crianças menores de 10 anos. Métodos: 46 crianças asmáticas menores de 10 anos foram recrutadas para esse estudo observacional transversal, realizado entre outubro de 2016 e julho de 2018. O controle da asma foi verificado de acordo com o GINA 2016. A condição nutricional foi considerada como eutrófica (Z escore -2 a +1) ou sobrepeso/obesidade (Z score > +1), de acordo com a classificação da Organização Mundial da Saúde. Valores de vitamina D < 20 ng/mL foram considerados deficiência. A análise laboratorial foi realizada pelo laboratório de análises clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina do ABC. Resultados: Não foi encontrada relação estatisticamente significante entre controle da asma e condição nutricional (p = 0,766), controle da asma e níveis de vitamina D (p = 0,880), ou níveis de vitamina D e condição nutricional (p = 0,610). Deficiência de vitamina D foi encontrada em 21,8% das crianças incluídas; 63,5% apresentavam asma não controlada; e 41,3% apresentavam sobrepeso/obesidade. Conclusões: O presente estudo não encontrou associação entre controle da asma, níveis de vitamina D e condição nutricional, questionando a importância dessa relação em crianças com menos de 10 anos.

Abstract

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency and obesity have been associated with poorer asthma control in developed countries, although this relationship has yet to be established. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between vitamin D deficiency, asthma control, and nutritional status in children younger than 10 years. Methods: 46 asthmatic children younger than 10 years were recruited for a cross-sectional observational study conducted from October 2016 to June 2018. Asthma control was assessed according to the GINA 2016 guidelines. Children were classified as normal weight (Z score -2 to +1) or overweight/ obese (Z score > +1) according to the World Health Organization classification. Vitamin D levels < 20 ng/mL were considered deficient. The laboratory analysis was performed in the Clinical Analysis Laboratory of the ABC Medical School. The statistical analysis was performed with the chi-square test. Results: There was no statistically significant relationship between asthma control and nutritional status (p = 0.766), asthma control and vitamin D levels (p = 0.880), or vitamin D levels and nutritional status (p = 0.610). Vitamin D deficiency was present in 21.8% of children; 63.5% had uncontrolled asthma, and 41.3% were overweight/ obese. Conclusions: The present study found no association between asthma control, vitamin D levels, and nutritional status, questioning the importance of this relationship in children younger than 10 years.
