VITAMIN D INSUFFICIENCY AS A RECENT PROBLEM FOR THE RESIDENTS OF TYUMEN CITY AND TYUMEN REGION.

The present work is dedicated to the study of vitamin D content among residents of Tyumen city and Tyumen region. The study analyzed the correlation between the level of vitamin D in the blood and the gender, age, place of residence and season of seeking medical care. This study was carried out on the basis of multidisciplinary clinic of Tyumen State Medical University (MDC of Tyumen SMU). During the research, 231 medical records were analyzed. It was estimated that 51% of patients (118 people) had insufficient blood content of vitamin D. This condition requires early and adequate treatment, since otherwise the risk of clinical manifestations of hypovitaminosis D increases. Considering the important biochemical role of this vitamin in the body (it is proved that vitamin D is not only involved in the regulation of phosphorus-calcium metabolism; almost all cells have receptors for it) and the increased risk of the consequences in case of hypovitaminosis, the conducted study is a pressing issue of our time.
