Vitamin D Deficiency: The regularity and bivariate relationship with Anemia among Adults in Urban Populations: a cross sectional study

Abstract

The most common diseases that give rise to nutritional diseases that are likely to attack the general society include the vitamin D deficiency and anemia that are more common in the developing states. The other process is the calcium metabolism which incorporates the vitamin D in addition to the erythropoiesis process which involves the regulation of the erythropoietin as well as the activity of the bone marrow. Nevertheless, they have not done adequate correlation of the amount of Vitamin D and anemia on the adult population in the urban population. The study aim was to identify the status of Vitamin D deficiency and association with anemia in adults in a tertiary care unit in an urban population. The research design will be cross-sectional study and based on a population of forty one thousand and one hundred adults between the age of 18-60 years who visit the outpatient departments of a tertiary hospital in the period between January and June of 2024. The quantities of hemoglobin (Hb) were explained utilizing the chemiluminescent immunoassay and the hematology automated analyser to quantify the amounts of serum 25- hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and the hematology automated analyser respectively. The anemia was within the WHO. Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis helped to consider the statistical correlation of Vitamin D and hemoglobin levels. Among the whole group of the study participants (260/118), 260 (65) and 118 ( 29.5) were not only ill of Vitamin D (<20 ng/mL), but also anaemic, respectively. This was also established to be the case since, the Vitamin deficient individuals had 85 (32.7) anaemic individuals and 33 (17.5) Vitamin D adequate individuals (p = 0.004). They have not demonstrated a statistically significant difference of the mean levels of Vitamin D (16.4 + 5.3 ng/mL in anemic and 24.2 + 7.6 ng/mL in non-anemic). There was a positive correlation between Vitamin D (Serum Vitamin D) and hemoglobin (r = 0.36, p < 0.001). The deficiency of vitamin D is also excessive in the case of the urban adults themselves and it becomes directly adopted against the anemia. The other diagnostic and therapeutic application that can be made is screening of anemic patients in vitamin D. The interventional studies are required further to provide the solution to consumption and treatment outcome.
