Abstract

Despite adequate sunny days in Iran, VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY, RICKETS and OSTEOMALACIA are still common health problems in the region. While 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25-0H-D) is the most abundant metabolite of the hormone and its blood cocentration reflects the total body stores of the substance, 172 blood samples from normal Iranian males and females between 20-45 years old were analysed.The mean values for the men was 23.9 ng/ml and for the women was much smaller, 16.3 ng/ml, P<0.001. 26.7% of the subjects had 25-0H-D levels less than 10 ng/ml and 27.3% had values between 10-20 ng/ml. While values less than 10 ng/ml reflect sever deficiency and values between 10-20 ng/ml reflect mild to moderate deficiency, we can conclude that more than 50% of the study group suffered from mild to severe VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY.This deficiency is due to the lack of the substance in most foodstuffs and lack of sun exposure due to traditional clothings. Serum parathormone leveis were within normal limits and no correlation could be found between the two variabls. While vitamin D is essential for bone health specially in children, forticification of milk with vitamin D is highly recommended in lactating and pregnant women and also the elderly people.
