Conditions

Vitamin d Deficiency

Brief summary

This study is an experimental design study in which demographic characteristics, food consumption, biochemical parameters and anthropometric measurements of individuals with low vitamin D levels before and after consuming UV-enriched foods will be examined.

Detailed description

It was designed to be applied to individuals with low vitamin D levels working in Fatih Sultan Mehmet Training and Research Hospital who meet the research conditions. n the first phase of the study, demographic information will be recorded by asking demographic information from the people who volunteered to participate in the study and who meet the study criteria by using a questionnaire form and 3-day food consumption record information by face-to-face interview technique; anthropometric measurements of the participants will be taken and baseline blood values will be recorded. At the beginning of the experimental study, individuals will be randomized by computer-assisted randomization into four different groups. Biochemical analyses will be analyzed every two weeks, analyses will be repeated 1 month after the study and the effects of vitamin D enrichment on biochemical parameters will be determined.

Interventions

OTHERVitamin D status

Four different groups will be compared with each other in terms of vitamin D effect.

Intervention model description

Forty-eight people aged 18-65 years with serum 25(OH)vitamin D levels below 30 μg/L and who meet the study criteria will be selected for the study. Four groups, 12 per group, will be randomly selected by computer-assisted randomization. Group 1 (UV-C mushroom+normal bread group): Group 2 (UV-C mushroom + UV-C bread group) Group 3 (normal mushroom + normal bread group) Group 4 (normal mushroom + normal bread + supplement group)
