DESCRIPTION:PhD Oral Defense of Isabelle Germain\, School of Dietetics and 
 Human Nutrition\n\nVitamin D is a key nutrient in maintenance of calcium h
 omeostasis and contribution to bone health. Elderly populations living in 
 long-term care (LTC) facilities of Canada face a higher risk of deficiency
  vitamin D intakes and sunlight exposure are limited. Endogenous synthesis
  and food intake of vitamin D can be cumulatively measured by serum 25-hyd
 roxyvitamin D concentration (25(OH)D). The Institute of Medicine (IOM) rev
 ised the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) for Vitamin D and Calcium in 2011
 . The new DRIs replaced the Adequate Intake (AI) of 600 IU/d for vitamin D
  in adults with an Estimated Average Requirements (EAR: 400 IU/d) and a Re
 commended Dietary Allowance (RDA: 800 IU/d) for the elderly population of 
 more than 70 y. Regardless of these recommendations\, many elderly in Cana
 da\, in the community or in LTC\, have low vitamin D status. Aging men are
  underrepresented in research looking at vitamin D and bone health. As men
  are living longer\, and since they experience the highest morbidity and m
 ortality following fractures\, more investigation is required to describe 
 the impact of low vitamin D status and its correction on bone health outco
 mes in advanced aging in men.\n\nThe global objectives of this thesis were
  to: (1) comprehensively assess dietary and supplemental intakes of vitami
 n D and its association with biomarkers of bone health in elderly men livi
 ng in a LTC facility of the Montreal region (46°)\; (2) assess the impact 
 of an 8-week supplementation regimen of 2000 IU/d of vitamin D3 on 25(OH)D
  and markers of bone metabolism\; (3) determine how much vitamin D3 is req
 uired to sustain vitamin D status\, using vitamin D3 fortified foods.\n\nE
 veryone in the McGill community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. P
 lease join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n
