In this study, 280 girls diagnosed with ICPP and 188 normal puberty control girls of similar ages were enrolled and retrospectively studied. The ICPP group had significantly lower serum 25- hydroxyvitamin D （25[OH]D） levels than the control group. Furthermore, a nonlinear relationship was found between serum 25[OH]D and ICPP, and a cut-offpoint for serum 25[OH]D was found at 31.8 ng/ml for ICPP with and without adjusting the different confounding factors. Girls with serum 25[OH]D 〉~ 31.8 ng/ml had a lower odds ratio （unadjusted： OR 0.36, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.83, P 〈 0.05; height and weight adjusted： OR 0.44, 95~0 CI 0.18 to 1.08, P = 0.072; BMI adjusted： OR 0.36, 95% CI 0.16 to 0.84, P 〈 0.05）. The ICPP subjects with 25[OH]D deficiency had a higher body mass index （BMI） than the subjects from the two other subgroups. Correlation analysis showed that vitamin D level is correlated with BMI and some metabolic parameters in the ICPP group. Our study suggested that vitamin D status may be associated with ICPP risk and may have a threshold effect on ICPP.展开更多
