Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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.

Detailed Description
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Vitamin D values [Pre-intervention, through study completion, an average of every two weeks and 1 month after the completion of the intervention]
During study, Vitamin D values are evaluated.
- Biochemical parameters [Pre-intervention, through study completion, an average of every two weeks and 1 month after the completion of the intervention]
Ca and parathormone are evaluated during the study.
- Demographic parameters [Pre-intervention]
Demographic values (age, gender, etc.) are also investigated.
- Food consumption record [Pre-intervention, through study completion, an average of every two weeks and 1 month after the completion of the intervention]
Before starting the study and after the end of study the food consumption of participants are evaluated.
