Abstract

Objectives: This study was to investigate vitamin D3 (25-OH) deficiency in chronic low back pain patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study, intragroup comparison in 82 patients suffering from chronic low back pain. Results: The female/male ratio is 2,9/1; The mean age of the patients group in this study was 67,6 ± 12,7 years. The mean serum vitamin D3 (25-OH) concentration was 19,8 ± 7,7ng/ml; in which the prevalence of patients with deficiency was 53,7% and vitamin D insufficiency accounted for 39,0%. Some related factors having statistically significant relationship with serum vitamin D3 (25-OH) levels including: gender, smoking and alcohol drinking in men, muscle weakness symptom clinical, degree of activity restriction (Oswestry Disability Index), reduces bone mineral density in women. Conclusion: The research found that Vitamin D3 (25-OH) deficiency in patients with chronic low back pain was very common and was associated with some physical symptoms of the disease.
