Abstract EN
Purpose.
To study the relation between the serum 25-hydroxyl vitamin D (OH D) level and the occurrence of age-related cataract in a case-control study.
Patients and Methods.
325 cataract patients and 385 control individuals of both sexes were examined for the 25-OH D level using the chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) technology.
Results.
Mean 25-OH D level in cataract patients was 7.6 ± 5.5 ± 11.2 ng/mL and median was 5.6 (2.6–31.9), while in the control group, mean 25-OH D level was 18.5 ± 9.6 ng/mL and median was 17.8 (3.4–37.8) (p value < 0.001).
There was a statistically significant difference among the different types of cataracts with the lowest level in nuclear cataract.
Conclusion.
25-OH D levels in all enrolled individuals were below the reference levels with a severe deficiency in cataract patients.
These results might highlight the role of deficiency of 25-OH D in age-related cataract patients.
