methods: This study is a case-control study and its statistical population was elderly people who referred to Bandargaz city hospital. 35 people in the case group and 107 people in the control group and a total of 142 patients were included in this study. Sampling was done to measure the level of vitamin D of these people with standard kits. The data of this study were analyzed using independent t-tests, analysis of variance, chi-square and linear regression.
Results: The average level of serum vitamin D in people with a history of vitamin D consumption was equal to 40.49 ng/mL and in people with a history of not taking vitamin D, it was 15.6 ng/mL. The average serum level of vitamin D in the group infected with Covid-19 (24.48±18.22 ng/mL) compared to the non-infected group (25.95±23.54 ng/mL) showed no significant difference (<0.05). p).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that there is no significant difference between the average serum level of vitamin D inferred in two groups with and without covid 19. It was also shown that the average serum level of vitamin D in the occupations of farmers and ranchers was lower than that of employees
