Determination of Vitamin D level For The Past 5 Years of Women in The Region between the Ages of 18-35 in Van Education and Research Hospital. Van Yuzuncu Yil University Institute of Health Sciences, MSc. Thesis in Department of Biochemistry, Van, 2018. With this thesis , it was aimed to determine the level of vitamin D and Ca, Mg and K leves for the last 5 years for women in the age range of 18-35 years who applied to the Van Education and Research Hospital. The study's human material consisted of female patients aged 18-35 years who applied to Van Education and Research Hospital between 2012-2016 and had serum vitamin D analyzes. 20 patients for each year, a total of 100 patients were included in the study. Between the years of 2012-2015 desired analysis results were taken from the archive, 2016 in the blood samples of 20 women were taken personally. D vitamin, calcium, potassium and magnesium values were determined. Analyzes were performed using a Roche Cobas autoanalyzer. The mean values of these parameters during the 5-year period from 2012 to 2016 were 7.88 ± 8.23 – 11.90 ± 10.88 – 10.67 ± 10.39 – 12.68 ± 13.76 – 15.98 ± 15.72 ng / ml for Vitamin D respectively; for calcium 9.33 ± 0.96 – 9.64 ± 0.54 – 9.38 ± 1.03 – 8.84 ± 1.03 – 9.53 ± 0.62 mg / dl; for magnesium 2.05 ± 0.20 - 2.10 ± 0.17 -2.03 ± 0.14 - 1.93 ± 0.22 - 2.00 ± 0.26 mg / dl, while for potassium 4.11 ± 0.34 – 4.22 ± 0.43 – 4.03 ± 0.44 -4.10 ± 0.47 – 4.18 ± 0.36 mmol /l. As the level of Vitamin D above 50 nmol / l (20-30 ng / ml) is considered acceptable by various medical authorities, the level lower than 25 nmol / l (10 ng / ml) is accepted as clinical vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D levels detected in all the years examined were within the deficiency limits and there were serious deficiencies in women in Van. Clothes worn locally as closed clothing , lack of daily light utilization and lack of adequate nutrition may be causes vitamin deficienciesThere were no serious deficiencies in the other parameters. As a result, this work is important study based on the years in Van province. More detailed studies of Vitamin D leveling should be done, regional workshops should be performed and Vitamin D supplementations to the some basic foods should be recommended to the various institutions, against the missing vitamin values to be determined by the youth and the elderly.
