Serum lipid profile level among patients with vitamin D deficiency

Abstract EN

The aim of this study is to assess the impact of vitamin D deficiency on lipid profile among patients.

The study included 71 patients, 30 healthy patients classified as controls and 41 patients suffering from vitamin D deficiency classified as the case group.

Vitamin D levels were Gratified into three ranges: deficient (< 10ng/ml), insufficient (10-20 ng/ml), and sufficient (>20ng/ml) among which there was high significant difference among the levels of cholesterol (TC), and triglycerides (TG) between cases and controls, and there was no significant difference in levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and TG: HDL-C ratio between cases and controls.

We found insignificantly negative correlation between the serum levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C and TG: HDL-C ratio, and vitamin D, in addition to insignificantly positive correlation between LDL-C level and vitamin D.

The study concluded that serum cholesterol and triglycerides were significantly higher among patients suffering from vitamin D deficiency compared to control.
