Abstract

Twenty-nine patients with osteoarthritis (OA) were examined to identify the relationship between the level of vitamin D and the characteristics of the course of OA in patients residing in the Arctic Region. Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency was detected in 82.8% of the examinees. In addition, a more obvious radiographic stage of OA, pain syndrome, signs of depression and anxiety, as well as greater dependence on outside help in everyday life were more commonly diagnosed in patients with OA and vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency..
