Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a common medical problem, especially in the gulf region of the Middle East. The prevalence in several studies has exceeded 50% and being more noticeable among females. Objective: We assessed the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in patients attending a general hospital in both men and women and at different age groups. Methods: Vitamin D level data for patients who attended Dubai hospital in the period between 2008 and 2012 were examined retrospectively. The serum 25(OH) D levels were crosschecked in patients’ charts and laboratory electronic database. Patients with incomplete medical records, those already on treatment with vitamin D, and patients with contradicting results in medical files and electronic data base have been excluded. Data were analysed using descriptive analysis relating vitamin D levels to age, gender, and ethnicity. Results: The total number included was 2836 patient. 81% of them have 25 (OH) D levels of <30 ng/ml. About 76.4% (n=2166) of the studied group was females. There was no difference in prevalence between males and females. Arab ethnicity was associated with more marked vitamin D deficiency and less sufficiency. Conclusion: We conclude that vitamin D deficiency is a considerably major health problem in the emirate of Dubai. Higher awareness among healthcare providers and the community is needed for screening and treatment necessity. Key words: Vitamin D deficiency, Vitamin D insufficiency, Bone Health.
