You make a career and don't see the sunlight for days?

Then do not be surprised by frequent visits to the dentist and worsening of depression, according to Pannochka, an Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net Employees at the University of Albert (Canada) have proven that some occupations, including office workers and doctors, are susceptible to vitamin D deficiency.

Reported by BMC Public Health.

“Our findings suggest that occupation is a key factor in vitamin D levels in humans.. Regular laboratory tests are necessary in some professions to protect themselves from the serious consequences of hypovitaminosis, ”said Dr. Sebastian Straube in a statement..

Let us briefly remind our colleagues about the consequences of hypovitaminosis D:.

- Dizziness.

- Muscle pains and fasciculations.

- Worsening the course of depressive disorder.

- The occurrence of breast, ovarian, intestinal, prostate cancer.

- Increased risk of fractures, especially in old age.

- Osteomalacia, a decrease in bone mineral density.

- Periodontitis and tooth loss A new understanding of occupational risks will help us prevent vitamin D deficiency and significantly improve health.

Scientists have classified occupations according to the risk of hypovitaminosis D:.

- Shift workers (daily workers): 80%.

- Indoor workers: 77%.

- Medical students: 72%.

- Clinical residents: 65%.

- Practitioners: 46%.

- Nurses: 43%.

- Other health care providers: 43% “Vitamin D is synthesized in the body by exposure to ultraviolet light, so outdoor activity during the day is essential for everyone.. Lack of sunlight negatively affects the body of students and young doctors, ”said Dr. Straube.

In general, 91% of office workers and indoor workers have more or less severe vitamin D deficiency. This is not always accompanied by severe symptoms, but it puts their body at risk..

By comparison, workers who work outdoors are deficient in vitamin D in only 48% of cases..

Dr. Straube's research findings are based on a rigorous analysis of 71 scientific projects covering 53,425 people from different countries.. The authors included here the work of different years, carried out in the temperate latitudes of the Northern and Southern hemispheres..

Despite the impressive scope of the analysis, results may be limited by different authors' methodologies and different definitions of vitamin D deficiency.. Despite all the limitations, the lack of sunlight theory looks quite reasonable..

So, colleagues, it's time to think about your own health.!

If there is not enough time for sunbathing, pharmacies have a convenient solution - vitamin and mineral complexes with cholecalciferol.
