Background.
Data on hypovitaminosis D in elderly patients admitted to rehabilitation units in tropical countries are scarce.
Objective.
To assess the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and its associated risk factors in elderly patients admitted to a rehabilitation unit in tropical Singapore.
Methods.
Prospective, cohort study of 134 subjects ≥ 65 years old admitted to a tertiary rehabilitation centre.
Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25OHD3) was measured on rehabilitation admission.
Results.
Mean age was 72.0 ± 5.7 years, and stroke was the commonest rehabilitation diagnosis (49.3%).
Low 25OHD3 levels were present in 115 patients (85.6%) and 59 patients (44%) were deemed to be vitamin D deficient.
The mean PTH level was significantly higher in patients with low 25OHD3 levels.
( p = 0.002 ) Age, gender, vitamin D supplementation, premorbid ambulatory status, and admission/discharge Functional Independence Measure scores were not significantly associated with vitamin D deficiency.
Malays/Indians ( p = 0.013 ) and recurrent fallers ( p = 0.029 ) were at significantly higher risk of vitamin D deficiency.
Conclusions.
Despite the tropical weather, vitamin D deficiency is common in elderly subjects admitted to a rehabilitation unit in Singapore.
Routine assessment of vitamin D levels is recommended especially in those with a history of recurrent falls and patients of Indian/Malay ethnicity.
