This study tries to know the rate of the deficiency of vitamin D experienced by Lattakian women as well as its accompanying diseases. It is conducted at a specific clinic in Lattakia in the period (2012-2013).
The study included a sample of 127 w
omen randomly chosen. It depended on laboratory results of the levels of vitamin D: normal rate, moderate deficiency, acute deficiency. It also depended on age group: Group1(20-50 years old): Group 2: (more than50 years old).
The study concludes that the rate levels are as follows: very high (84.26%), normal (15.74%), moderate deficiency (55.15)%, and acute deficiency (44.85%).
Symptoms based on age were as follows:
Group 1: clinical symptoms were more visible than diseases. The clinical symptoms were: 1-the muscular vatic (93.70%); 2 anxiety and depression (77.05%). Diseases were: 1-thyroied failure (12.5%), 2-hypertesion(6.25%).
Group 2: Diseases were more visible: The clinical symptoms were :1-anxiety (85.18%), 2-the muscular vatic (74.07%). Diseases were :1-cardiovasculardiseases (44.44%), 2-hypertension(37,03%).
In this research, the quantity of vitamin C which extracted from fresh fruits and
vegetables was evaluate by using titration method with 6-2 Dichloro phenol andovinol, and
studying the effect of conservation and different temperatures (30, 60, 90)
°C which used
in cooking on content of vitamin C for some samples. Also this search included studying of
the effect of iron ions on content tomato, orange and lemon of vitamin C.
The results showed that the concentration of vitamin c in studied samples: parsley,
red pepper, green pepper, lemon, orange and tomato was (8, 22, 36, 144, 175, 133)
mg/100g respectively. Losing of the vitamin was (66%, 65%) when we save the leaves and
stalk of parsley for 24 hours respectively, when exposure the parsley leaves to the
temperatures (30, 60, 90) c° the losing percentage was (24 %, 41%, 62 %), While the
losing was (79%, 65%, 39%) when injected each of tomatoes, oranges, lemons with
dissoluble of iron.
