Abstract in English
Hypovitaminosis D is linked to osteomalacia , cardiovascular disease and some
autoimmune diseases. Many studies showed that hypovitaminosis D is common worldwide, especially in
the neighboring countries.
The aim of this study is to determine serum concentrations of 25 hydroxyvitamin D3 in healthy Syrians,
since vitamin D status in Syria is unknown.
