Abstract

Even in sunny nations like Baghdad /Iraq, vitamin D deficiency is not uncommon. Vitamin D insufficiency is brought on by both inadequate oral supplementation and lack of sun exposure. The objective of this study was to measure the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency between genders and determine the variation of percentage between male and female in Baghdad/Iraq. The statistical examining of Vitamin D deficiency in 300 patients of different gender are roughly selected in age between (18-80 years) and the data acquired from different private laboratories in Baghdad through 2019 - 2020. They were separated equally in to two groups (male 150 – female 150) and applied a vitamin D test
