In recent years, there has been an increase in vitamin D tests in order to determine the prevalence and definition of vitamin D deficiency, which is clinically recognized to be associated with many diseases. The increase in vitamin-supported supplements is also related to this. This deficiency, which is tried to be prevented by taking precautions such as sun exposure, food and diet in local conditions, is tried to be prevented by health professionals with guidance, supervision and drug supplementation. This study covers the dates of 2022 and before. All patient data were randomly obtained from hospital automation (Göle state hospital) and then 25(OH)D levels were retropectively analyzed (Ardahan University Scientific Research and Publication Ethics Committee approval (Approval Date: 14.12.2022- No: E-67796128-000-2200037489). The findings of the study showed that vitamin D levels were insufficient (<20ng/ml) in male and female populations, there was no significant difference between gender and age groups, and there was a significant seasonal change in vitamin D levels in both genders in summer and winter periods. As a result, it is important to evaluate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Ardahan province and to expand the screening in the whole population and the experience of health professionals.
