Vitamin D Deficiency, its Relation to Bone, Back Pain, Tiredness and Mood Improving in Adult Sample Collected from Baghdad City

This study examined 58 outpatients from Baghdad City suffering from varying levels of Vitamin D deficiency, with a focus on symptoms such as bone and back pain, tiredness, hair loss, and mood changes. The findings indicated that women were more prone to Vitamin D deficiency due to factors like menopause, pregnancy, and lactation. Patients aged 40-69 experienced significant bone and back pain, and 25% of the participants reported hair loss. Most participants felt tired and had headaches. Treatment with Vitamin D supplements, such as Cholecalciferol, improved symptoms, including reducing hair loss and pain, within two months. Additionally, the study found a link between low Vitamin D levels and depression, particularly in older adults, with supplements helping to improve mood, especially in women.
