Background: Anemia is one of the most common diseases in women. According to some studies, vitamin D seems to be involved in the hematopoietic process. Therefore, this study was performed to investigate the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency and anemia in women.
Methods: This case-control study was performed in Kermanshah reference laboratory. In this study, 200 patients with anemia and 200 healthy individuals as a control group were selected from the women in the age range of 20 to 80 years and according to the criteria of the World Health Organization.
Results: The mean age of patients with anemia was 44.79± 15.02 and the mean age of the control group was 44.58±14.35 years. The mean serum levels of vitamin D in patients with anemia and the control group were 20.31±9.62 ng / mL and 26.26 ±14.41 ng / mL, respectively, which was significantly lower than in patients with anemia than the control group (P <0.001). Based on the results, no significant relationship was observed between serum vitamin D levels and the severity of anemia.
