Trial summary

Vitamin D deficiency is a modifiable risk factor for poor bone health. Familial correlation of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration (25(OH)D) was reported in twin- or family-based studies, mostly from Caucasian parent-offspring pairs. Read more about this study

Study population: This study was based on data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) (IV-2, 3 and V), conducted from 2008 to 2012. The KNHANES is a nationwide cross-sectional survey performed by the Division of Chronic Disease Surveillance, Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which assessed the health, nutritional status, and socioeconomic status of the non-institutionalized civilian population of South Korea. Subjects were selected using a stratified multistage clustered probability sampling design. Families, including at least two family members with serum 25(OH)D measurements and whose family relationships could be accurately identified were selected for the study. After the selection process, a total of 28,551 subjects from 10,882 families were included in our study.

Who may be able to join

  • KNHANES(Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) 2008-2012 participants

Who cannot join

  • missing value on 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels
  • data on another household member was unavailable
  • the precise family relationship between the subjects was unclear

About this study

Vitamin D deficiency is a modifiable risk factor for poor bone health. Familial correlation of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration (25(OH)D) was reported in twin- or family-based studies, mostly from Caucasian parent-offspring pairs. However, data on the familial association of 25(OH)D in extended family structure and the relative contribution of genetic and shared environmental factors on serum 25(OH)D level are limited in Asian populations. In this study, the investigators aimed to assess the relative contribution of additive genetic and environmental components on serum 25(OH)D level by variance components method in a nationwide family-based cohort. Further, the investigators will evaluate the association of vitamin D status of index individual with prevalent vitamin D deficiency of each family member including spouse, offspring, sibling, and grand-offspring. Additive influences of paternal and maternal vitamin D status on offspring will be also investigated.

Read the detailed description

From the Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (KNHANES) conducted between 2008 and 2012, familial correlations for 25(OH)D will be estimated in different types of family relation pairs in 28551 subjects from 10882 families. The relative contribution of additive genetic and shared or individual environmental factors for variance of 25(OH)D level will be calculated using variance component method. Interactions between paternal and maternal vitamin D status for 25(OH)D level of offspring will be evaluated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vitamin D Deficiency, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Vitamin D deficiency (time frame: 1 minute after the survey (cross-sectional analysis)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Nov 2017.
