【 摘 要 】

The purpose of the study was to investigate the prevalence and severity of vitamin D insufficiency in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients in Sverdlovsk region. Was examined 61 patients with MS of 18 to 61 year old (38,0 ± 10,6). The study was performed in March-April in 2010 and 2011. The control group included 32 healthy volunteers. The groups were comparable in age and sex. All MS patients and 94 % of control group had hypovitaminosis D3. However, patients with MS had clearly lower 25 (OH) D3 concentration as compared to control group (p = 0,01). Half of the patients had vitamin D deficiency, whereas in the control group the deficit was identified only in 21.9% (р = 0,04). We did not found any correlation between concentration of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and sex, duration and type of MS, degree of disability on EDSS scale, as well as with depression. A moderate direct correlation between patients’age and concentration of 25 (OH) D3 in serum was found.
