The relationship between serum vitamin D level and wheezing and allergy

Results The age average of the babies who were studied was 20,3± 1,5 months. 46,9 % of the babies were girls, 53,1 % were boys. At the beginning of the study 12,5 % of the babies’ serum 25(OH)D3 levels were deficient, 39,1 % of the babies’ were insufficient, 48,4 % of the babies’ were sufficient. The average of the babies’ vitamin D level was 29,8 ±10,8 ng/ml. At the end of study, 29,7 % of the babies’ serum 25(OH)D3 levels were sufficient, 45,3% of the babies’ were insufficient, 25% of the babies’ were deficient. At the beginning of the study 55% of the babies’ who had at least one wheezing, serum 25(OH) D3levels were insufficient or deficient. Compared to the babies who did not have wheezing, the difference was statically meaningful (p:0,04). The 71,4 % of the babies’ who had allergy, serum 25(OH)D3 levels were insufficient or deficient but a statically meaningful relationship was not detected. The end of the study 81,1% of the babies’ who had at least one wheezing, serum 25(OH)D3 levels were insufficient or deficient . That was statically meaningful (p:0,02). The 81,2% of the babies’ who had allergy, serum 25(OH)D3 levels were insufficient or deficient. While a meaningful relationship between vitamin D intake and wheezing and infection was not found, at the end of the study slightly meaningful relationship between vitamin D intake and allergy was detected. At the end of study, 29,7 % of the babies’ serum 25 (OH)D3 levels were sufficient, 45,3% of the babies’ were insufficient, 25 % of the babies’ were deficient.
