MÜLTECİLERDE D VİTAMİNİ EKSİKLİĞİ PREVALANSI

Amaç: D vitamini eksikliği Dünya da yaygın görülen önlenebilir bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Çalışmanın amacı mültecilerde D vitamini eksikliği prevalansını belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Retrospektif tipte planlanan çalışmaya Ocak-Aralık 2019 tarihleri arasında Tokat İl ve İlçelerinde bulunan Devlet Hastanelerinde 25 (OH) D vitamini ölçümü yapılmış olan 103 mülteci birey hastane otomasyon sisteminden taranarak dahil edildi. Bireylerin D vitamini düzeyinin mevsim, yaş, cinsiyet ve uyrukları ile ilişkisi değerlendirildi. İstatistiksel analizlerde sayı, yüzde, ortalama±standart sapma, Mann Whitney U testi ve Kruskal Wallis testleri kullanıldı (p

THE PREVALENCE OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY IN REFUGEES

Aim: Vitamin D deficiency is a common preventable public health problem in worldwide. The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in refugees. Materials and Methods: 103 refugees, whose 25 (OH) vitamin D measurements were made in the State Hospitals in Tokat Province and Districts between January-December 2019, were included in the retrospective study. The relationship of vitamin D levels with season, age, gender and nationality was evaluated. In statistical analysis, number, percentage, mean ± standard deviation, Mann Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis tests were used. (p
