Introduction:
Dyslipidemia is one of the most common metabolic disorders. Vitamin D is one of the essential fat soluble vitamins which has many functions in the human body.
Aim:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between dyslipidemia and vitamin D deficiency.
Materials And Methods:
This is a cross-sectional study which included 130 participants (58 males and 72 females) aged between 20-70 years and conducted between June 1 and October 30, 2020. The level of vitamin D was determined for each participant; we also measured the serum levels of cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein, and low density lipoprotein.
Results:
There were 79 persons with vitamin D deficiency, 21 persons were vitamin D insufficient, and 10 - vitamin D sufficient. There were significant differences in the level of cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density and low-density lipoproteins according to the level of vitamin D.
Conclusions:
Deficiency of vitamin D has a negative impact on the levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density and low-density lipoproteins.
