Objectives: To determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in healthy female adolescents of Manipur aged 11 to 19 years. Material and Methods: A Cross sectional study conducted in the department of Physiology, RIMS, Imphal and from selected schools of urban and rural districts of Manipur. Serum vitamin D was analyzed by using Automated Microplate ELISA Reader and data collected was analyzed by using SPSS version 21(IBM). Results: Out of 108 students, 24(22.2%) were vitamin D insufficient, 35(32.4%) were Vitamin D deficient and 49(45.4%) were having normal vitamin D level. Overall 59(54.6%) of study participants were either vitamin D deficient or insufficient. Mean ± SD of vitamin D levels in urban and rural adolescent girls were 28.58 ± 12.72 and 21.49 ± 9.15 respectively and was found to be statistically significant (p= .000).
