| description | Vitamin D is a fat-soluble prohormone that is not only important for bone mineral metabolism, but also plays a crucial role in various physiological functions essential for general health, due to its specific receptor present in almost all cells. Among its beneficial effects are the improvement of the immune response, insulin secretion and the prevention of certain tumor processes. However, hypovitaminosis D is highly prevalent in Latin America and in Ecuador the presence of this problem has been confirmed in a large part of the population, especially in adult women. Objective: to evaluate the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in women between 35 and 50 years old who work at the National University of Loja. In addition, the results obtained were related to age ranges and the possible relationship with the body mass index of the patients was evaluated. Methodology: quantitative, non-experimental and descriptive-correlational study. The sample was made up of 82 women. Results: 67.1% of the women presented hypovitaminosis D, of which 43.9% presented deficiency and 23.2% presented insufficiency. However, no statistically significant relationship was found between hypovitaminosis D and the age of the sample (p= 0.453), nor between hypovitaminosis D and body mass index (p= 0.204). Conclusion: although a high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D was found in this population, the levels are not related to age or body mass index. |

La vitamina D es una prohormona liposoluble que no solo es importante para el metabolismo mineral óseo, sino que también juega un papel crucial en diversas funciones fisiológicas fundamentales para la salud en general, debido a su receptor específico presente en casi todas las células. Entre sus efectos beneficiosos se encuentran la mejora de la respuesta inmunológica, la secreción de insulina y la prevención de ciertos procesos tumorales. Sin embargo, la hipovitaminosis D es altamente prevalente en América Latina y en Ecuador se ha constatado la presencia de este problema en gran parte de la población, especialmente en mujeres adultas. Objetivo: evaluar la prevalencia de hipovitaminosis D en mujeres de 35 a 50 años que trabajan en la Universidad Nacional de Loja. Además, se relacionar los resultados obtenidos con respecto a rangos de edad y se evaluó la posible relación con el índice de masa corporal de las pacientes. Metodología: estudio cuantitativo, no experimental y descriptivo-correlacional. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 82 mujeres. Resultados: el 67,1% de las mujeres presentó hipovitaminosis D, de las cuales el 43,9% presentó deficiencia y el 23,2% presentó insuficiencia. Sin embargo, no se encontró una relación estadísticamente significativa entre la hipovitaminosis D y la edad de la muestra (p= 0,453), ni entre la hipovitaminosis D y el índice de masa corporal (p= 0,204). Conclusión: aunque se encontró una alta prevalencia de hipovitaminosis D en esta población, los niveles no están relacionados con la edad ni con el índice de masa corporal.
