Objective: Vitamin D deficiency is a
serious public healthcare problem throughout the worldand is related to
multiple comorbidities, including osteoporosis, falls, and fractures,
particularly in the geriatric population.

Materials and Methods: We retrospectively
determined the serum 25 hydroxy (OH) vitamin D levels in 688 patients admitted
to Istanbul Medicine Hospital for routine medical examination between 2013 and
2016.

Results: Serum 25 OH vitamin D levels were
<20 ng/mL in 72% of subjects (vitamin D deficiency). The 25 OH vitamin D
levels in subjects aged >65 years (n=136) were significantly lower than
those in the younger cohort (n=552) (16.9±12.5 vs. 15.6±13.9 ng/mL, p<0.05).
Women (n=290) had significantly lower levels than men (n=398) (17.2±11.5 vs.
15.9±14.4 ng/mL, p<0.01). A significant difference was observed between age
groups in both genders separately.

Conclusion: Vitamin D levels must be
monitored widely among the population, especially in elderly women.

Amaç: D vitamini eksikliği dünya
genelindeki gibi Türkiye’de de önemli halk sağlığı sorunlarındandır ve
literatürde özellikle yaşlı popülasyonda osteoporoz, düşme riski ve kırıklar
gibi birçok morbidite ile ilişkili olduğunu gösteren veriler mevcuttur.

Gereç ve Yöntem: 2013-2016 yılları arasında
rutin sağlık taraması amacıyla Istanbul Medicine Hospital’e başvuran 23-92
yaşları arasında 688 bireyin serum 25-hidroksi (OH) vitamin D düzeyleri
retrospektif olarak incelendi.

Bulgular: Olguların %72’sinde vitamin D
eksikliği olduğu izlendi (25-OH vitamin D<20 ng/mL). 65 yaş üstü olgularda
(n=136) 25-OH Vitamin D düzeyi gençlere göre anlamlı olarak düşük izlendi
(n=552) (16,9±12,5 vs. 15,6±13,9 ng/mL, p<0,05). Ayrıca kadın olgularda
25-OH vitamin D düzeyinin erkeklere göre anlamlı olarak düşük olduğu saptandı.
(17,2±11,5 vs. 15,9±14,4 ng/mL, p<0,01). Her iki yaş grubu cinsiyetlere göre
ayrı ayrı değerlendirildiğinde istatistiksel anlamlılığın devam ettiği görüldü.

Sonuç: 65 yaş üstü kadın olgular başta
olmak üzere tüm toplumda vitamin D eksikliği taramaları etkin bir şekilde
yapılmalıdır.
