“…Moreover, percentage of deficient was greater between individuals in contrast to controls but without statistically significant difference. Our results were consistent with Mohamed et al [12].who demonstrated that there is a statistically significant variance among the control group & individuals concerning vitamin D level as average vitamin D level in the control group was 21.14±8.78 ranging from 5 to 40 with 10 (40.0%) participants with deficient vitamin D level, 13 (52.0%) participants with insufficient vitamin D level, and two (8.0%) participants with sufficient vitamin D level, while average vitamin D level in the case group was 16.08±6.61 ranging from 6.5 to 30 with 18 (72.0%) participants with deficient vitamin D level, seven (28.0%) participants with insufficient vitamin D level, with no participants having sufficient levels.…”

“…while there is no significance among the examined groups concerning age, BMI, sex, education, and marital status. Our results supported with Mohamed et al [12].who aimed to assess the influence of sociodemographic variables on levels of vitamin D & the prevalence of hypovitamin D, as well as the correlation between this condition as well as OCD. Their study included 50 subjects, aged from 18 to 40 years.…”

Vitamin D has a crucial part in calcium metabolism & has been recognized for its involvement in processes including proliferation, differentiation, and immunomodulation. Recent research has indicated that a lack of vitamin D might cause detrimental alterations in the brain & may be linked to neuropsychiatric disorders. To determine the association among low vitamin D levels & the presence of OCD, & to assess the relationship among low vitamin D levels & OCD symptoms severity & the duration of the illness. Thirty OCD patients and thirty matched healthy controls was enrolled in the research. Information was gathered from individuals diagnosed with OCD who were between the ages of eighteen and forty. The participants' vitamin D blood levels were evaluated utilizing an enzyme-linked immunosorbent test kit in the present investigation. This study demonstrates a considerable disparity in vitamin D3 levels between the patients and controls. Moreover, The prevalence of deficiency was greater among patients than controls, although the disparity was not statistically significant. We noted that there is a significant negative relationship among vitamin D3 with obsession & compulsion. We can therefore conclude that OCD is related with a deficiency in levels of vitamin D in the serum. Moreover, according to the current findings, there is no correlation among serum vitamin D levels, OCD symptoms, or severity.
