| Abstract |
Vitamin D status was assessed in 142 elderly Dutchmen participating in a prospective population-based study of environmental factors in the aetiology of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Of the men aged 70-88 years examined between March and May 1990, 39% were vitamin D depleted. After adjustment for confounding by age, BMI, physical activity, month of sampling, cigarette smoking and alcohol intake the 1-h glucose and area under the glucose curve during a standard 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were inversely associated with the serum concentration of 25-OH vitamin D (r = -0.23, p < 0.01; r = -0.26, p < 0.01, respectively). After excluding newly diagnosed diabetic patients total insulin concentrations during OGTT were also inversely associated with the concentration of 25-OH vitamin D (r = -0.18 to -0.23, p < 0.05). Hypovitaminosis D may be a significant risk factor for glucose intolerance. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 12. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 January 2017.
All research outputs
#2,941,184
of 26,017,215 outputs
Outputs from Diabetologia
#1,468
of 5,621 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#3,389
of 95,548 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diabetologia
#3
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,017,215 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,621 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 24.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 95,548 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
