Aim: Vitamin D deficiency is a serious health problem that affects people of all ages, particularly elderly women. Menopause is a significant event in a woman's life. Women are becoming more susceptible to a variety of metabolic diseases as they get older. The purpose of this study is to determine serum vitamin D and hs-CRP levels in premenopausal and postmenopausal women.
Methods: The study included 500 female participants, with 400 pre- and postmenopausal women serving as cases and 100 serving as healthy controls. Vitamin D levels in serum were measured using a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay, and hs-CRP levels were measured using a latex-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay. All female subjects were tested for serum estradiol (E2) using a competitive immunoassay method. SPSS software, version 22.0, was used to analyze the data. When pre- and postmenopausal women were compared to healthy control women, vitamin D levels were significantly lower and hs-CRP levels were significantly higher (p0.001). Serum estradiol levels were also significantly lower in postmenopausal women. We discovered a strong negative correlation between vitamin D deficiency and hs-CRP levels in both pre- and postmenopausal women.Conclusion: Postmenopausal women are more likely than premenopausal women to be vitamin D deficient. Low-grade systemic inflammation has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women.
