Abstract The effect of vitamin D (VD) on the risk of preeclampsia (PE) is uncertain. Few of previous studies focused on the relationship between dietary VD intake and PE risk. Therefore, we conducted this 1:1 matched case-control study to explore the association of dietary VD intake and serum VD concentrations with PE risk in Chinese pregnant women. A total of 440 pairs of participants were recruited during March 2016 to June 2019. Dietary information was obtained using a 78-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Serum concentrations of 25(OH)D2 and 25(OH)D3 were measured by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. Multivariate conditional logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Restricted cubic splines (RCS) were plotted to evaluate the dose-response relationship of dietary VD intake and serum VD concentrations with PE risk. Compared with the lowest quartile, the ORs of the highest quartile were 0.45 (95%CI: 0.29-0.71, Ptrend = 0.001) for VD dietary intake and 0.26 (95%CI: 0.11-0.60, Ptrend = 0.003) for serum levels after adjusting for confounders. In addition, the RCS analysis suggested a reverse J-shaped relationship between dietary VD intake and PE risk (P-nonlinearity = 0.02). A similar association was also found between serum concentrations of total 25(OH)D and PE risk (P-nonlinearity = 0.02). In conclusion, this study provides evidence that higher dietary intake and serum levels of VD are associated with the lower risk of PE in Chinese pregnant women.

AbstractBreast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among women worldwide. Studies regarding diet and blood levels of vitamins and minerals in the breast cancer aetiology are limited and the results are inconclusive. We investigated the association between serum vitamin-mineral profiles (V-MPs) and breast cancer (BC) risk with including dietary patterns (DPs) and use of supplements. This case-control study involved 420 women aged 40–79 years from north-eastern Poland, including 190 newly-diagnosed breast cancer cases. The serum concentrations of vitamins (folate, cobalamin, 25(OH) vitamin D) and minerals (iron, calcium, magnesium) were marked in 129 post-menopausal women (82 controls, 47 cases) using an immune-analyser Cobas e411 and a Cobas Integra 400plus auto-analyser (Roche Diagnostics®), respectively. A posteriori V-MPs were derived with a Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Three PCA-driven DPs: ‘Non-Healthy’, ‘Prudent’, and ‘Margarine and Sweetened Dairy’ were described previously. A logistic regression analysis was performed. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated. Two serum V-MPs were identified. The ‘Folate-Cobalamin-Vitamin D’ profile was loaded heavily by the folate (factor loading 0.82), cobalamin (0.81) and vitamin D (0.49). The ‘Iron-Calcium’ profile was loaded heavily by the iron (0.81) and calcium (0.77). The ‘Magnesium-vitamin D’ profile was loaded heavily by the magnesium (0.92) and vitamin D (0.39). The risk of BC was lower by 88% (OR: 0.12; 95%Cl: 0.02–0.88; p < 0.05) in the upper tertile of the serum ‘Iron-Calcium’ profile compared to the bottom tertile. The risk of BC was lower by 67% (OR: 0.33; 95%Cl: 0.11–0.97; p < 0.05) at the level of serum 25(OH) vitamin D ≥ 24.6 ng/mL and lower by 68% (OR: 0.32; 95%Cl: 0.11–0.91; p < 0.05) at the level of serum calcium ≥ 9.6 mg/dL. There was the inverse association of the serum ‘Magnesium-Vitamin D’ profile with the risk of BC, which disappeared after adjustment for DPs. No significant association between BC risk and the serum ‘Folate-Cobalamin-Vitamin D’ profile and also folate, cobalamin, iron or magnesium considered separately was revealed. These findings highlight that the higher-adequate serum concentrations of both iron and calcium as well as close-to-adequate concentrations of calcium and vitamin D considered separately may protect against breast cancer among postmenopausal women, independently of dietary patterns and use of supplements. Therefore, women should be screened for blood concentrations of multiple vitamins and minerals in the breast cancer prevention.

Background: Cigarette smoking is associated with changes in blood concentrations of some antioxidant vitamins. This study aimed to determine the association of cigarette smoking with serum concentrations of vitamins A and E in men. Methods: This was a case-control study, in which the participants were 80 male smokers and 84 male nonsmokers (age range: 20-60 years). Data on dietary intake, health status, smoking habits, anthropometric characteristics, and vitamin levels were compared between cases and controls. Results: Smokers had significantly lower concentrations of serum vitamin E (p = 0.001) and vitamin A (p = 0.013) compared with nonsmokers. However, serum vitamin E to cholesterol ratio was not significantly different between smokers and nonsmokers. Moreover, the highest circulating concentrations of vitamin E was observed in smokers who smoked ≤9 cigarettes per day (p < 0.03), while and the lowest vitamin E was seen in men smoking ≥20 cigarettes per day. Conclusion: The results of this study identified that cigarette smoking is associated with lower levels of serum vitamin E and vitamin A, although it was not associated with vitamin E to cholesterol ratio.
