dc.description.abstractPurpose: Vitamin D level varies personally according to the angle and duration of the sun's contact with the skin surface, the amount of nutrients taken, and the amount of oral intake. Besides nutritional habits, the location of settlements, their height from the sea and climate properties affect the serum 25(OH) D vitamin levels of individuals. In this study, it was aimed to determine the serum 25(OH) D vitamin levels of children in the Western Black Sea region. Materials and methods: Children who were living in the Western Black Sea region covering Karabük and neighbouring provinces, who applied to Karabük education and research hospital for any reason between January-December 2018, were measured for 25(OH) vitamin D. The children were divided into groups according to age, gender and seasonal application time, and their serum 25(OH) D vitamin levels were analyzed retrospectively. Results: A total of 709 children, 381 girls (53,7%) and 328 boys (46,3%), were included in the study. The mean serum 25(OH) vitamin D levels of the cases were 18,8 ng/mL, and it was found that there were differences according to age groups (1-4 years, 5-9 years, 10-14 years, 15-18 years) and seasons, but no difference was found according to the settlements. The mean serum 25(OH) vitamin D level in boys was 20.2 ng/mL and 17.3 ng/mL in girls and was found to be a significant difference between girls and boys (p<0,001). Complete deficiency, partial deficiency and normal serum 25(OH) vitamin D levels of cases were 12,8%, 68,7% and 18,5% (respectively). It was found that there was an inverse proportion between parathyroid hormone level and vitamin D level according to both seasonal and vitamin D levels. Conclusion: Vitamin D vitamin levels were low in the majority of children living in the Western Black Sea region. Although Vitamin D levels of children differed seasonally but there was no difference according to the settlement. © 2021, Pamukkale University. All rights reserved.en_US
