- (7.2024) New citation for our study regarding vitamin D deficiency among healthcare workers.
Our recent study, “Vitamin D deficiency during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic among healthcare workers,” was cited in a study published in Frontiers in Nutrition. This study, conducted among 468 healthcare workers (median age 40 years, 35% male) in Mexico, found that the median 25 hydroxy vitamin D (25[OH]D) levels were 16.6 ng/mL (95% CI: 17.0 to 18.2 ng/mL). The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (25[OH]D <20 ng/mL) was 69.4%. Compared to the Mexican study, our participants were younger (mean age 38 years) with more females (71%), had a higher mean 25(OH)D level (21.5 ng/mL), and had a lower prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (45.9%).
