Computational model for vitamin D deficiency using hair mineral analysis.

Hassanien AE, et al. Comput Biol Chem. 2017.

Abstract

Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in the Arabian Gulf region, especially among women. Recent studies show that the vitamin D deficiency is associated with a mineral status of a patient.

Therefore, it is important to assess the mineral status of the patient to reveal the hidden mineral imbalance associated with vitamin D deficiency.

A well-known test such as the red blood cells is fairly expensive, invasive, and less informative.

On the other hand, a hair mineral analysis can be considered an accurate, excellent, highly informative tool to measure mineral imbalance associated with vitamin D deficiency.

In this study, 118 apparently healthy Kuwaiti women were assessed for their mineral levels and vitamin D status by a hair mineral analysis (HMA).

This information was used to build a computerized model that would predict vitamin D deficiency based on its association with the levels and ratios of minerals.
