Abstract EN
Objective: The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in subjects attending Primary Health Care Centers, and to ascertain its relationship with components of metabolic syndrome.
Methods: A cross-sectional study on 250 subjects with the NCEP-ATP III defined metabolic syndrome (MetS) and 150 of non-metabolic syndrome (n-MetS) subjects attending Primary Health Care Centers was performed.
Serum 25(OH) D levels, and metabolic syndrome components were determined.
All participants were Kurd with age range 25-65 years.
Results: The results revealed that serum 25(OH) D levels were significantly decreased in MetS subjects (22.1±10.3 ng/ml), as compared to n-MetS (31.5±7.9) with p=0.001.
The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (13.2%) and insufficiency (70.0%), was significantly higher among MetS subjects than among non-MetS (38.6% and 0.7%, respectively), p-value of <0.001.
Serum 25(OH) D le\>els were inversely associated with waist circumference, body mass index, triglycerides and fasting blood glucose (p=0.01, p=0.001, p=0.001,p<0.001 respectively), and positively with HDL (p=0.004).
Conclusions: The present study has indicated that metabolic syndrome is linked to low' vitamin D status in subjects attending primary health care centers.
Normalization of vitamin D status may have beneficial effects on metabolic syndrome components.
