Abstract: Objective To observe relation between serum vitamin D level and thyroid function, clinical characteristics in the newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) patients.Methods A total of 239 patients with the newly-diagnosed T2DM were selected in Department of Endocrinology, Beijing Chuiyangliu Hospital from May 2015 to October 2016. According to serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25(OH)D] level, these patients were divided into four groups:normal group ≥30 ng/mL, insufficiency group 20 ng/mL≤25(OH)D<30 ng/mL, deficiency group 10 ng/mL≤25(OH)D<20 ng/mL and severe deficiency group<10 ng/mL. Clinical characteristics and thyroid function were compared in these groups.Results The incidence of serum 25(OH)D deficiency was 56.9% in the newly-diagnosed T2DM group.There were significant differences in age, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in these groups (P<0.05).The linear regression analysis showed that serum calcium (Ca), parathyroid hormone (PTH) were positively correlated with serum 25(OH)D (P<0.05), but gender, age, smoking, HbA1c, TSH were negatively correlated with serum 25(OH)D (P<0.05).Conclusion Female, age, smoke, HbA1c, TSH are important risk factors for deficiency of serum 25(OH)D in the newly-diagnosed T2DM patients.
