Journal Title: Journal of Academic Research in Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: Our study aimed to determine the relationship between the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and calcium and phosphorus levels by retrospectively obtaining vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus values. Methods: Vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus levels of patients admitted to family medicine between October 2015 and December 2017 were evaluated. Shapiro-Wilk, Mann-Whitney U, and Spearman’s rho tests were used for data analysis and p values <0.05 were considered to be statistically significant. Results: A total of 1,063 patients were included in the study. The percentage of patients with normal vitamin D levels was 20.5% and those with normal calcium and phosphorus levels were 97.1% and 84.9% of the study population, respectively. Positive correlation was found between vitamin D levels, calcium, and age. Conclusion: In our study, the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was found to be 49.6%.
