Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Study Parameters
- Severe VD deficiency: level in the range of 0–10 ng/mL;
- VD deficiency: >10–20 ng/mL;
- Suboptimal level (insufficiency): >20–30 ng/mL;
- Optimal range: >30–50 ng/mL;
- High level: >50–100 ng/mL;
- Toxic range: >100 ng/mL.
- <18.5—underweight;
- 18.5–24.99—normal weight;
- 25.0–29.99—overweight;
- 30 and over—obesity.
