The goal of this study is to compare the serum 25-OH vitamin D levels of patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) who are scheduled for joint replacement with healthy people. This pilot study was undertaken in and around Chennai, as well as rural areas in Tamil Nadu. Study participants were chosen at medical camps held by our teaching hospital in and around Chennai, as well as rural areas of Tamil Nadu. According to this study, roughly 5 out of 10 individuals with knee osteoarthritis were vitamin D deficient, with serum levels below 10 ng/ml. The researchers also attempted to link vitamin D levels in the blood with anthropometric risk variables such age, gender, and BMI. There was a clear link between gender and vitamin D levels in the blood, with female patients having lower amounts. The identification of high-risk subjects and the adjustment of risk variables such as low serum 25-OH vitamin D levels in KOA patients would have therapeutic benefits and may even reduce the incidence of fracture in the elderly.
