背景/目的：维生素D缺乏症在沙特阿拉伯非常普遍。这项研究的目的是比较沙特已婚夫妇的维生素D缺乏情况。材料和方法：这项横断面研究是在沙特阿拉伯利雅得的皇家卫队初级保健中心进行的，连续抽样50对沙特已婚夫妇到该中心就诊，没有与维生素D缺乏相关的主诉。数据是通过访谈问卷收集的，涉及危险因素和饮食习惯。采用电化学发光法测定血液中总25-羟基维生素D的含量。结果：男性日照时间较长(P=0.001)，在家中多穿轻便衣物(P=0.002)，牛奶(P=0.023)和软饮料(P=0.001)摄入量较多。男性维生素D水平较高，平均差值约为9nmol/L(P

Fieldwork was carried out from December 2010 to January 2011.RESULTS: Men had higher sun exposure (P = 0.001), more use of light clothes at home (P = 0.002) and more intake of milk (P = 0.023) and soft drinks (P = 0.001). Vitamin D was higher in men with mean difference about 9 nmol/l (P
