Journal Title: Eurasian Journal of Family Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: The aim of our study as primary health care providers is to investigate the factors affecting vitamin D levels in women during reproductive period in our region. Methods: Our work was completed between September 2015 and January 2016, including 289 women aged 18-45 in our province.The participant who meets the conditions for participation was administered face-to-face interview questionnaire consisting of 42 questions by a family medicine specialist. In our study, ≥30 ng/mL serum vitamin D concentrations were normal and those below 30 ng/mL were grouped as inadequate. Results: Vitamin D value was calculated as 16.64±7.53 ng/ml. Only 7.6% (n=22) of them had normal vitamin D levels. Vitamin D level was found to be inadequate in 98.4% (n=123) of the body-worn clothes (p=0.04). As the physical activity score decreased, the vitamin D insufficiency rate increased 4.2 times (OR=4.208), as the area exposed to sun / regions decreased 2.6 times (OR=2.683). Conclusions: We think that women shoud be informed about vitamin D sources and it would be appropriate to have repetitive follow-ups in terms of treatment effectiveness during conversations for any reason at the primary care.
