The deficiency of vitamin D is prevalent all over the world. Studies have shown that vitamin D may play an important role in the development of obesity. The current study was conducted to quantitatively evaluate the association between serum 25-(OH) vitamin D levels and the risk of obesity in both diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies was carried out for that purpose. We searched the Medline, PubMed, and Embase databases throughout all of March 2018. A total of fifty five observational studies for both diabetic and non-diabetic subjects were finally included in the meta-analysis. The data were analyzed by comprehensive meta-analysis software version 3 and the random effects model was used to analyze the data. The meta-analysis showed an overall inverse relationship between serum vitamin D status and body mass index (BMI) in studies of both diabetic (r = −0.173, 95% = −0.241 to −0.103, p = 0.000) and non-diabetic (r = −0.152, 95% = −0.187 to −0.116, p = 0.000) subjects. The evidence of publication bias was not found in this meta-analysis. In conclusion, the deficiency of vitamin D is associated with an increased level of BMI in the studies of both diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. Reliable evidence from well-designed future randomized controlled trials is required to confirm the findings from observational studies and to find out the potential regulatory effects of vitamin D supplementation to lower BMI.

Background: Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men in the United States. Obesity has been consistently associated with lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations. Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the serum vitamin D and PSA levels in Sudanese Obese and Non-Obese prostate cancer (PCa) attending the National Cancer Institute. Patients and Methods: Eighty six prostate cancer patients were included in this study, they were identified by clinical examination, histopathology and prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The mean age of them was 71.78 ± 8.04 years. Serum Vitamin D and PSA were measured by Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunoassay reactions using (Cobase411, serial No: 0868-16, manufactured by Hitachi high technologies corporation, Tokyo-Japan) the Elecsys reagents kit (Roche – Germany) Results: The means of serum vitamin D levels of among  obese was 35.5 ± 15.4 ng/dL and 38.4 ± 16.2 ng/dL  among non-obese group with non-significant differences(P=0.505). No significant association was observed between PSA levels and obese and non-obese (P=0.351). Vitamin D levels non-significantly negative correlated with BMI (r = -0.031, P = 0.778) and PSA (r = -0.062, P = 0.569), but there was insignificantly Positive correlated between PSA and vitamin D level (r = 0.151, P = 0.164). Conclusion: insignificant differences between vitamin D and serum PSA with BMI, Oral supplementation is recommended for individuals with low level of vitamin D.

AIM: To determine the vitamin D levels in vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) patients in Indian population. METHODS: A total of 30 non-atopic healthy children and 30 children having VKC were included in the study. The serum vitamin D levels and the time spent outside was compared between the two groups (P<0.05). RESULTS: The mean serum vitamin D level in the VKC group was significantly lower (mean 19.17±10.76 ng/mL) compared to the control group (mean 31.19±9.09 ng/mL) (P=0.0003). The vitamin D levels were found to be deficient (10-20 ng/mL) in 43.33%, whereas severe deficiency (<10 ng/mL) was found in 20% of the VKC patients. The deficiency of vitamin D correlated with the level of severity of VKC (P<0.02). The time spent outside in the VKC group was 1.07±0.76h, whereas in the healthy subjects it was 2.08±0.72h (P<0.0001), and it showed a significant correlation with the serum 25 (OH) D3 levels (r=0.478, P<0.001). CONCLUSION: The study shows that children with VKC had a significantly lower serum vitamin D levels as compared to the healthy children which correlated with time spent outside. The severity of VKC also correlated with the severity of vitamin D deficiency which suggests that vitamin D plays an important role in maintaining ocular surface health.

Purpose To evaluate the serum vitamin D levels of patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) Method A total of 39 VKC patients (21 males and 18 females) and 32 healthy individuals (19 males and 13 females) were enrolled in this study with the mean age of 18.38 ± 8.83 and 21.6 ± 9.43, respectively. The type and the grade of VKC were identified for each patient and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels of all subjects were evaluated. Results The patients affected by VKC had statistically significant lower 25(OH)D levels (27.64 ± 8.50 ng/mL) than healthy subjects group (35.96 ± 11.34 ng/mL) ( p = 0.001). A reverse correlation was found between the serum vitamin D levels and the severity of the VKC but it was not statistically significant ( r = −0.159, p = 0.33). Besides, there were a few cases with severe and very severe VKC (2 in grade 3 and 4 in grade 4). Patients with the mixed type of the disease had lower serum vitamin D levels in comparison to tarsal and limbal forms but the difference was not statistically significant ( p = 0.38). Conclusion This study shows that the patients affected by VKC have lower vitamin D levels in comparison to healthy subjects and the screening of all patients with VKC for vitamin D levels seems rational.

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the vitamin D level among vaccinated and non-vaccinated pregnant women with COVID-19. Study Design: Observational/comparative study Place and Duration: The study was conducted at the department of Gynae and Obs Quaid-e-Azam International Hospital, Islamabad and Qazi Hussain Ahmad Medical Complex, Nowshera for Duration of six months from October 2020 to March 2021. Methods: Total 120pregnant women had coronavirus disease were presented. Informed written consent was taken for details demographics age, gestational age, parity and body mass index. 18-45years was the women ages. Patients were categorized into 2-groups. Group I had 60 vaccinated patients and in group II 60 non-vaccinated pregnant women. Blood sample of all the patients were taken for the level of serum 25-hydroxy vitaminD3 [25 (OH) D3]. Vitamin D deficiency was calculated and compared among both groups. Sufficient serum vitamin D level was considered >30ng/ml. SPSS 23.0 version was used to analyze complete data. Results: In group I age was 28.4±8.55 years with mean BMI 24.08±1.18 kg/m2 and in group II age was 27.41±6.37 years with mean body mass index 23.12±4.42 kg/m2. Mean gestation age in group I was 33.12±9.42 weeks and in group II mean gestational age was 34.07±5.63 weeks. Mean parity in group I was 3.88±7.27 and in group II 4.01±4.14 was mean parity. We found 28 (46.7%) primigravida cases in I-group and 30 (50%) primigravida females in II-group. In group I 51(85%) patients had vitamin D deficiency and in group II 54 (90%) had deficiency of vitamin D. Among 51 deficient women of group I, number of severe deficiency (<10ng/ml) women were 8 (13.3%), deficiency (10-20ng/ml) were 13 (21.7%) and not-sufficient (20-30ng/ml) were 30 (50%) and in group II prevalence of severity (<10ng/ml) patients were 10 (16.7%), deficient cases (10-20ng/ml) were 15 (25%) and not-sufficient cases (20-30ng/ml) were 29 (48.3%). Deficient vitamin D serum levels were 15.01±1.22 in group I and 14.34±4.12 in group II. Conclusion: In this study we concluded that prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was highly among pregnant women and most probably in non-vaccinated pregnant patients but did not find any significantly difference among both groups.

Abstract Background. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune chronic disease where hyperglycemia, increased risk of oxidative stress, advanced glycation end-products and other genetic and environmental factors lead to T1D complications. Shorter telomeres are associated with hyperglycemic levels and lower serum vitamin D levels. Methods. Average telomere length (ATL) in whole blood DNA samples was assessed with qPCR method in 53 Slovenian T1D children/adolescents (median age 8.7 years, 1:1.3 male/female ratio). Body mass index standard deviation score (BMI-SDS), glycated haemoglobin and serum level of vitamin D metabolite (25-(OH)-D3) and the age at the onset of T1D were collected from the available medical documentation. Results. Results indicate shorter ATL in subjects with higher BMI-SDS when compared to those with longer ATL (0.455 ± 0.438, -0.63 ± 0.295; p=0.049). Subjects with higher BMI-SDS had lower serum vitamin D levels when compared to those with lower BMI-SDS (40.66 ± 3.07 vs. 52.86 ± 4.85 nmol/L; p=0.045). Vitamin D serum levels did not significantly differ between subjects with longer/shorter ATL. Conclusion. T1D children/adolescents with shorter ATL tend to have higher BMI-SDS. Lower serum vitamin D levels were associated with higher BMI-SDS, while associations between vitamin D serum levels, age at the onset of T1D, glycated haemoglobin and ATL were not observed. Additional studies with more participants are required to clarify the role of the telomere dynamics in T1D aetiology and development of complications.

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is an autoimmune disorder that occurs in the Β-cells of pancreatic islets. Vitamin D is essential in maintaining the bone health. It has proven that Vitamin D has an autoimmune disorders including T1DM. Hence, the aim is to detect the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among children with T1DM. A case control study conducted in Duhok, North of Iraq between 15th of February and 15th of August 2016. 100 enrolled participants aged from 5 to 15 years of both genders were divided in to two groups. Fifty of them had T1DM and 50 children who were healthy and non-diabetic. All participants were studied in terms of age, gender, duration of diabetes, glycemic control (HbA1c) and Body Mass index .Samples of blood were taken to measure serum Vitamin D and HbA1c levels. Mean serum Vitamin D level in diabetic group was 6.068 ±2.45 ng/mL while in the control group it was 21.101 ±9.23 ng/mL. Vitamin D were lower in the diabetic patients than controls (P= 0.01). Vitamin D level was indirectly correlated with duration of diabetes (P=0.01).Level of Vitamin D was decreased with increasing HbA1C (P=0.01). Level of Vitamin D was not significantly related to body mass index. Vitamin D level is not significantly related to body mass index.
