Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in very few foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. It is also produced endogenously when ultraviolet rays from sunlight strike the skin and trigger vitamin D synthesis. A total of 90 patients was included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 31.45±2.78 years, mean age of the females was 29.73±3.56 years and mean age of males was 34.67±3.91 years. There were 40 [44%] females and 50 [56%] males in the study. The mean Vit. D level of patients was 39.23±2.33nmol/L and the mean Vit. D level of female patients was 33.45±2.33 nmol/L and the mean Vit. D level of male patients was 41.23±2.3 nmol/L. Keywords: Vitamin D, Outdoor Patients
