Abstract

Introduction: Previous cross-sectional studies have revealed that vitamin D deficiency is ‎associated with prediabetes. Prediabetes increases the risk of type II full diabetes. Considering ‎the significance of diabetes and its high incidence as well as high prevalence of vitamin D ‎deficiency in Iran, more studies need to be carried out in this field to confirm the relationship ‎between prediabetes and vitamin D deficiency.‎ Materials and Methods: It was a case-control study. 208 individuals (55.9%) out of 372 ‎participants were selected as the case group and 164 individuals (44.1%) were selected as the ‎control group based on their fast blood sugar (FBS). The average age of participants was 37.18. ‎Serum 25(OH) D level was compared between the two groups.‎ Findings: No significant difference was observed between serum 25(OH) D of the case group ‎and the control group. Moreover, there was not a significant difference between the two groups ‎regarding their BMIs.‎ Conclusion: No relationship was observed between 25(OH) D and impaired fasting glucose ‎‎(prediabetes) in individuals with normal FBS. However, it was observed that vitamin D ‎deficiency was quite common among all participants, in such a way that it was observed in ‎‎83.6% of all participants. More investigations are recommended to prove the relationship ‎between vitamin D deficiency and prediabetes‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎.
