Vitamin D Impact Factor

Vitamin D deficiency affects nearly 50% of the world's population. It is estimated that one billion people worldwide, all ethnicities and age groups combined, suffer from vitamin D deficiency (VDD). This pandemic hypovitaminosis D can be mainly attributed to lifestyle (e.g., reduced outdoor activities) and environmental (e.g., air pollution) factors that reduce exposure in the sun, which is necessary for the production of vitamin D induced by ultraviolet B (UVB). in the skin. A high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is a particularly important public health problem because hypovitaminosis D is an independent risk factor for total mortality in the general population. Current studies suggest that we may need more vitamin D than is currently recommended to prevent chronic disease. As the number of people with VDD continues to increase, the importance of this hormone in overall health and the prevention of chronic disease is at the forefront of research. EVD is very common in all age groups. Since few foods contain vitamin D, the recommendations recommend supplementation with the suggested daily intake and with tolerable limit levels. It is also suggested to measure serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D as an initial diagnostic test in patients at risk for deficiency. Treatment with vitamin D2 or vitamin D3 is recommended for patients with disabilities. A meta-analysis published in 2007 showed that vitamin D supplementation was associated with significantly reduced mortality. In this review, we will summarize the mechanisms that are believed to underlie the relationship between vitamin D and understand its biology and clinical implications.
