| Summary: | Traditionally, Vitamin D has been associated primarily with bone health, while further investigations
revealed that a sufficient amount is important for many organ functions. Data of 314 individuals
were obtained from Erbil governorate public and private hospitals from patients admitted to there for
testing their level of Vitamin D and other tests according to their doctor’s prescription. The variable
related to their lifestyle, metabolic syndrome, and hematology evaluations were obtained. The body
mass index, number of sleeping hours, number of hours spent with electronic devices, serum lipid
level anemia-related tests were measured. The results showed that serum 25(OH) Vitamin D levels in
studied individuals were related to hyperlipidemia serum cholesterol measures. The level of Vitamin B12
and Iron status were lower in the Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) individuals. Mean platelet volume was
higher in vitamin-deficient patients which induces the risk of cardiovascular (CV) diseases. This finding
suggests the relation between VDD and metabolic syndrome, CV, and anemia-related measurement. |
