Dr. Ruchita Chauhan, Dr. Shilpa Jain, Dr. Neeta Malukar

Abstract: Background: Vitamin D plays a vital role in calcium-phosphorus metabolism and bone health. Its deficiency is a global health issue, with significant prevalence in India despite ample sunlight. This study aims to evaluate the Biological Reference Interval (BRI) of vitamin D levels in the Western Indian population and assess its adequacy using Chemiluminescence Immunoassay (CLIA). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 482 healthy participants (188 males, 294 females) aged 1?80 years at Sir Sayajirao Hospital, Gujarat, from April to September 2024. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH vit D) levels were measured using the Abbott i-1000 SR analyzer. Data on diet, sunlight exposure, and lifestyle factors were collected via questionnaires. Statistical analysis included unpaired t-tests and percentile-based categorization. Results: Vitamin D deficiency (30 ng/mL). Females had significantly lower mean levels (19.54 ? 9.25 ng/mL) compared to males (23.46 ? 11.16 ng/mL; p
