Multiple Malignancies in Relation to Vitamin D Levels Among Women of Reproductive Age
The global burden of cancer, with deaths projected to increase from 7.6 million to 13.1 million by 2030, calls for urgent research into potential mitigating factors, such as Vitamin D levels. This study specifically addresses the correlation between Vitamin D and cancer prevalence among women of reproductive age, scrutinizing variables like age, socioeconomic background, and geographic location. Conducted at Fauji Foundation Hospital's Oncology department through detailed questionnaires, the study analyzes Vitamin D levels in newly diagnosed female cancer patients. While a significant direct association with cancer occurrence was not established, an alarming rate of Vitamin D deficiency and high obesity risk were noted. Furthermore, the study indicates an inverse relation between Vitamin D levels, sun exposure, and certain patient demographics. These findings underscore the necessity of considering environmental and lifestyle factors in cancer prevention strategies.
