“…Our study showed a clear relationship between vitamin D deficiency and UTI among females of reproductive age with 62.5%. This almost identical to the results made by Al-Hilali, 2016, and this was identical to previous studies conducted in the United States, Iran, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia [18], [19], [20], [21]. The present results indicated that the age groups 15-34 years are the most vulnerable to VDD than the older women with age group 35-45 years; these explain that age has a role in affecting vitamin D levels and skin production for vitamin D decreases with age and skin thickness [22].…”

BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common health infections in pregnant women with high complications. Many of the worldwide population suffer from vitamin D deficiency (VDD) due to insufficient exposure to sunlight. The relationship between VDD and UTI and giving vitamin D supplementation contributes to preventing UTI. AIM: The present study aims to find the effect of VDD and UTIs in women of reproductive age as risk factors during pregnancy. METHODS: The samples were collected from May 2020 to February 2021 from gynecology clinic outpatients and private clinics in Basrah city. A 104 sample was collected from females of reproductive age between 15 and 45 years divided into three age groups suffering recurrent UTI and VDD. RESULTS: Of 104 women who followed up with UTIs during the study period, the deficiency of vitamin D levels in women was 62.5%. The levels of deficiency were significantly higher in the age group 25-34y is 71.1%, followed by 15-24y is 63.2%, and 35-45 y is 50% with mean 24 ± 6.8 years. In addition, the results showed the vitamin D levels at an insufficient level (30.8%) higher in the age group 35-45 y is 42.9% with a mean of 10 ± 1.2. Furthermore, the results showed that the vitamin D levels at an insufficient level (30.8%) higher in the age group 35–45 years are 42.9% with a mean of 10 ± 1.2. CONCLUSION: Our current study revealed that there is a clear correlation between women who suffer from VDD and UTIs, whether severe or frequent infection at reproductive age and this affects their fertility and pregnancy. In addition, the study concluded that adolescent girls and young women are the most vulnerable to VDD and UTIs.

“…On the contrary, as per recent studies, moderate to severe vitamin D de ciency affects 24% of Americans, 37% of Canadians, and 13-40% of European populations (23)(24)(25)(26). A multicenter study conducted in Tehran disclosed 85.2% of reproductive age women to have serum 25(OH) D levels of less than 8 ng/ml (< 20 nmol/L) (27). A 2017 study reported prevalence of vitamin D de ciency to be 75.1% and 72.1% in Iranian women and men, respectively (28).…”

Purpose: Several aspects can affect serum vitamin D concentrations. The present research was proposed to control the frequency of vitamin D deficiency amongst female staff of a medical center in Tehran, and to categorize the risk factors which predisposed them to advanced danger of vitamin D deficiency. Methods: Six hundred fifty-one female staff of a Medical Center, aged between 20 and 67 years, were registered into this prospective cross-sectional study. Data including age, education, reproductive history and employment records of all the participants was entered in a questionnaire. Their daily consumption of different types of food and beverages was also recorded. Blood serum levels of 25-dihydroxy vitamin D was studied. Results: We found that 400 out of 651 working staff (61.5%) had vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D level <20 ng/ml), while 46.4% suffered from severe deficiency (serum 25(OH) D < 12 ng/ml). No significant association was found between serum vitamin D levels and their daily dietary consumption of meat, nuts, vegetables, fruit, salad, and tea. It was discovered that coffee consumption had significant association with lower levels of serum vitamin D (P<0.05). Staff`s record of service and use of calcium-D and multivitamin supplements were found to be the factors inversely related to vitamin D deficiency. Each year increase in their duration of employment was associated with a 5% decrease in their risk of developing vitamin D Deficiency (OR = 0.953 (0.913-0.99; p = 0.0264)). Also, use of calcium-D and multivitamin supplements reduced the risk of vitamin D deficiency by 53% (OR = 0.479 (0.266-0.862); p = 0.014), and 52% (OR = 0.482 (0.271-0.856); p = 0.013), respectively. Conclusion: The study revealed that vitamin D deficiency was highly prevalent among working women of the medical center and was inversely associated with their age, duration of employment, and use of multivitamins and calcium-D supplements. We found that coffee drinking was significantly connected with lower serum vitamin D status in the studied population.

“…(5)(6)(7) The effect of malnutrition on the eruption of deciduous and permanent teeth has been discussed in several studies. (8,9) One of the most common malnutrition problems in the world is vitamin D deficiency, which in many cases goes undiagnosed. Vitamin D is made up of two prerequisites for vitamin D3, which is made from 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin, or when taken with food or a vitamin D2 supplement (ergocalciferol), and is converted to Study participants were selected from referrals to a hospital in the center of Tehran (whose clients were from all parts of the city) and were studied for 1.5 years.…”

“…The effect of breastfeeding on eruption time may be related to insufficient vitamin D in mothers. (8,9) About 80% of Iranian pregnant women are deficient in vitamin D, and there is a significant relationship between vitamin D deficiency in mothers and infants. (5,6,9) A study conducted on children aged 1 to 10 years in Tehran shows that 51% of these children have serum levels of vitamin D below the optimum level.…”

(15) It seems that monitoring the eruption age of the first deciduous tooth and the level of serum vitamin D can be an indicator to prevent further problems associated with vitamin D deficiency, such as enamel hypoplasia and caries, as well as systemic problems, including rickettsia, which begins long before the onset of clinical symptoms.…”

Background and Aim: Tooth eruption is a multifaceted physiological process, which can be delayed by factors such as malnutrition. This study aimed to compare the serum levels of vitamin D and calcium in infants with a longer than normal eruption time of the first deciduous tooth with the control group (normal eruption). Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, serum levels of vitamin D in 61 children with a mean age of normal dental eruption in Iranian children (8 months and less) were compared with 61 children with eruption age of more than 8 months. The children were matched in terms of age, sex, place of birth and residence, age of birth, birth weight, and other eruption-related items. Student's t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The first erupted tooth in all infants was the mandibular incisor. The mean serum level of vitamin D was 38.1±24.1 ng/ml in infants with eruption age of 8 months or less and 40.0±21.5 ng/ml in the group of eruption age over 8 months (P=0.63). Serum calcium level was 10.03±0.55 mg/dl in the first group and 9.92±0.57 mg/dl in the second group (P=0.28). There was no significant relationship between gender, maternal education, A+D supplementation, infant nutrition (breast milk, formula, and combination), and different levels of vitamin D (deficient, inadequate, adequate, and toxic) with the average age of eruption of the first deciduous tooth (P>0.05). Conclusion: It seems that serum vitamin D and calcium levels in this age group do not affect the eruption time of deciduous teeth.
