Association Between Thyroid Disorder and Vitamin D among Yemeni Patients

Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a global health concern, with implications for a variety of disorders. However, its role in thyroid illnesses is not yet fully recognized. Hypothyroidism is a frequent condition in which the thyroid does not produce and release sufficient thyroid hormone into the bloodstream. It is considered primary hypothyroidism. Autoimmune damage causes about half of primary hypothyroidism cases, while other aetiologies or exposures cause the remaining half. Objectives: This research investigates the relationship between thyroid disorders and vitamin D levels in Yemeni patients residing in Sana'a city. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, data regarding the thyroid gland, patient sex, and results collected from various laboratories were analyzed.The study population consisted of approximately 378 patients diagnosed with thyroid gland disorders and vitamin D deficiency, who were treated at Alulaqi Specialized Medical Laboratory and the Central National Laboratory. Result: The study comprised 378 individuals with thyroid gland disorders; the majority were adult females, followed by elderly females (55–87 years old), and a small percentage were females (7–12 years old), the youngest of whom had the illness at a lower frequency. In terms of vitamin levels, the highest number of participants had vitamin D, followed by TSH, while T3 had the fewest participants, followed by T4. Also, there were no significant links found between the averages of the measured parameters (T4, T3, TSH, and Vitamin D) and sex among the people who were studied (P values of 0.279, 0.426, 0.170, and 0.065, respectively). Conclusions: it can be concluded that Vitamin D did not appear to be associated with thyroid problems in this investigation of Yemeni patients.
