Background: Vitamin D plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health and well-being .Vitamin D studies have shown its deficiency to be a major health problem affecting an estimated one billion individuals globally. Aim and Objectives: To know about Vitamin D levels in laboratory personnel in the medical college of Northern Telangana. Materials and Methods: This was cross-sectional study, conducted on 100 laboratory personnel (70 MLT students and 30 Lab technicians) from Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Karimnagar. Study has been conducted in Department of Biochemistry, for the duration of 1year from April 2022 to March 2023. Participants were included after getting their informed consent and ethical approval from the Institutional ethical committee of our Institute, and following inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Out of all study participants we have observed 10% of the study participants had deficiency of vitamin-D, 41% had insufficient levels of vitamin D and 49% had sufficient vitamin-D levels. Conclusion: Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was very less, also deficiency was strongly associated with sun exposure, diet and addiction like smoking or drinking.
