The Effect of UV-C Enriched Foods on Vitamin D Deficiency

Okan University48 enrolled

Overview

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.

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.
