Association of serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D with dental status, socio-demographic characteristics and subjective complaints in the adult population of Tashkent city
Research demonstrates a strong link between hypovitaminosis D and dental pathology in adults, highlighting the role of socio-demographic characteristics.
Key Points
Detection probabilities for hypovitaminosis D range from 51.70 to 95.00% depending on the presence of dental pathologies and demographic factors.
The study established that two or more dental pathologies significantly increase the risk of hypovitaminosis D to 77.89–92.00%.
A probabilistic model was developed, showing high sensitivity and specificity without relying solely on laboratory assessments.
Combined screening methods can effectively assess the risk of vitamin D deficiency by considering dental, demographic, and complaint factors.
