Correlation between vitamin D and serum lipid parameters among individuals from north Gujarat

Recent research has indicated a potential connection between low levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and dyslipidemia. This study aimed to explore this association among individuals from North Gujarat, India, undergoing routine health check-ups. The retrospective observational analysis included 1109 adults, focusing on their lipid profiles and serum 25(OH)D levels. Deficiency was defined as serum 25(OH)D < 30ng/ml. Results showed that 56% of participants had abnormal lipid levels, primarily involving LDL cholesterol. Interestingly, no considerable correlation was found between 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and increased total cholesterol or triglycerides. The study underscores the need for extensive, multicenter east to west studies to provide clearer insights into this relationship within the Indian population.
