Ithas been recognized as a pandemic worldwide.Althoughit’s sunny throughout the year, it is more common in theMiddle East and Gulf region. Objectives: The goal of thisstudy is to ascertain the prevalence of vitamin D deficiencyin adults aged 21 to 60 years of age and to explore itsrelationship to different variables. Patients and Methods: A cross sectional study of 370 adults, aged 21-60 years,wasconducted. A random selection of individuals was donefrom six primary health care clinics in the city of Abu Dhabi,United Arab Emirates, in the year of 2012.Serum levels of25-hydroxy vitamin D, demographic data, body mass index,presence or absence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension,dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease and inflammatorybowel disease were the variables of interest.The cutoffvalues for vitamin D were defined as follows: deficient(<50nmol/L), insufficient (50-75 nmol/L) and normal (≥ 75nmol/L). Results: 237 (64%) of subjects were vitamin Ddeficient, 98 (26.5%) were vitamin D insufficient and only35 (9.5%) were vitamin D sufficient. Vitamin D deficiencywas more frequent in females than males [181(65.6%)vs.56(59.6%)]. Higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency wasparticularly noted in the age group 21-30 years (73.6%). Nostatistically significant relationships were noted betweendeficiency of vitamin D and ethnicity, diabetes mellitus,hypertension, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease andinflammatory bowel disease. Conclusions: Deficiency andinsufficiency of vitamin D are very common among adultsattending primary health care centers. It is more commonin females and younger age groups. No other statisticallysignificant relationships were noted. Keywords: Vitamin D deficiency, Adults, Abu Dhabi" @default.
