Optimal vitamin D status for Chinese infants in Hong Kong: insights from the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone levels
The threshold of 25OHD that triggered the inflection point for PTH in our Hong Kong Chinese infants was lower than that reported in the Western literature. This might imply the cutoff for vitamin D deficiency is lower for Chinese infants. This could be explained by younger age and different ethnicity. Further study with larger sample size is needed to validate the observation.
