Abstract

Aims and objectives: Vitamin D in addition to its effect on bone- mineral homeostasis has many extra-skeletal effects. Recently its association with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension are well described. In our study we have tried to find out any of its association with cerebrovascular accident (CVA) patients.

Material and Methods: In a cross sectional study serum 25 OH vitamin D3, parathormone, calcium and phosphate were estimated in 38 CVA patients and 46 age and sex matched controls.

Results: Vitamin D level was found to be low in CVA patients [mean 20.01(±7.13) ng/ml] irrespective of their sex, residence, diabetes and hypertension. However there was no significant difference with control population [mean 20.37(±5.74) ng/ml; P= 0.79].

Conclusion: There is no significant difference in vitamin D level between CVA patients or non-CVA population. So the role of vitamin D deficiency in the causation of CVA needs reevaluation, especially in Indian patients.
