Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Biochemistry - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Indian population has been found to be deficient in Vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency is supposed to be associated with hypothyroidism. The present study was conducted to find the association between Vitamin D deficiency and hypothyroidism. The study design was case-control. The cases were selected from the patients suffering from hypothyroidism and controls were selected from those accompanying patients with age and sex matching in the ratio of 1:1. It was observed that there is significant association between hypothyroidism and Vitamin D deficiency (p<0.05). The risk of hypothyroidism is increased with Vitamin D deficiency.
