Post-menopause; Nutritional supplementation; D vitamin.Abstract
Menopause is defined as the permanent interruption of the menstrual cycle, being diagnosed after a period of 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea. In these women, vitamin D levels can be changed. Thus, some studies have suggested the exogenous supplementation of this nutrient as a therapeutic alternative. The objective was to conduct a literature review on exogenous isolated and/or combined vitamin D supplementation in postmenopausal women. Several articles published between 2016 and 2020 were collected. The following descriptors were used: “post-menopause”, “nutritional supplementation” and “vitamin D”, defined according to the Health Sciences Descriptors - DeCS platform. The databases used were Scielo, LILACS and PUBMED. The selection of articles followed inclusion and exclusion criteria, previously established. 21 articles were included in the study, most of which were published in 2018 (n= 9.42.85%). The selected studies evaluated the effects of this supplementation in different aspects. The high and low doses of supplementation were compared, the effects of a combination of vitamin D with other nutrients were analyzed, as well as the influence of an educational process on the topic with the participants. These women were evaluated for such therapy, considering the practice of physical activity, the serum profile of sex hormones, the risk of cancer in smokers, as well as muscle and inflammatory parameters. In view of the above, it was observed that exogenous supplementation with vitamin D is a therapeutic option under constant evaluation. It was also found that combined supplementation was the most developed approach among studies.
