Abstract

AIM: To assess whether vitamin D levels at birth were associated with risk of having type 1 diabetes up to 10 years of age and the potential modifier effect of ethnic group. METHODS: The Piedmont Diabetes Registry and the Newborn Screening Regional data were linked to identify cases (n = 67 incident children aged ≤10 years at diabetes onset, 2002-2012) and up to five controls (n = 236) matched for birthday and ethnic group. Cards with neonatal blood spot were used and 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) assessed with tandem mass spectroscopy. RESULTS: In conditional logistic regression, OR for unit increment of log vitamin D was 0.78 (95 % CI 0.56-1.10). Vitamin D was significantly lower in migrant than in Italian control newborn babies (p
