Abstract:   (578 Views) 
Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between vitamin D status and serum lipids in patients referred to Rafsanjan Salamat Clinic in 2021.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, 112 people were investigated. After ten hours of fasting, serum levels of vitamin D, cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglyceride were measured. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. 
Results: There was a significant association between serum levels of vitamin D  and more favorable LDL, cholesterol, and HDL levels (p<0.05). In obese individuals, high levels of this vitamin were associated only with higher HDL levels. In vitamin D consumers, blood cholesterol level was significantly lower (p<0.05), but vitamin D supplementation did not show a statistically significant association with LDL and triglyceride levels (p=0.0456).
Conclusion: Blood levels of vitamin D are associated with more favorable levels of LDL and HDL and cholesterol, especially in women. More studies are suggested to investigate this relationship.
