Correlation Between Tic Disorders and Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels in Chinese Children.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore the correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and tic disorders (TDs) in Chinese children.

Methods

We selected 2960 children with TD and 2665 healthy controls, aged 5-14 years, from the Department of Neurology of the Shanghai Children's Hospital. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and degrees of vitamin D deficiency were compared between patients with TD and healthy children.

Results

The mean serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level in the TD group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.001). The proportion of patients with 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency in the TD group was significantly higher than that in the control group. However, there was no correlation between 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency and the severity of
