Abstract

In recent years, several studies have been carried out in developing countries to assess the prevalence of VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY. Majority of these studies were limited to specific age groups and were not population based. Results of these studies point to the high prevalence of VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY in these. countries. This report assesses the pervalence of VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY and its associated factors.This study was carried out on 1210, 20-69 year old residents of the city of Tehran who were randomly chosen. Serum level of 25(OH) D was assessed and a questioner was used to evaluate the time of sun exposure, the clothes, CALCIUM INTAKE and BMI.VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY was detected in 79.6% of the studied population. Prevalence of severe, moderate and mild VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY was found to be 14.2%, 57.6% and %9.5, respectively in this population. Serum level of vitamin D had no significant correlation with sun exposure, CALCIUM INTAKE and BMI. The mean serum level of vitamin D in young females was significantly lower than older ones.Because of high prevalence of VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY in Tehran population, application of different methods such as food fortfication seems to be necessary to improve this condition and to prevent the side effects of VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY.
