Overview

This review demonstrates the strong association between vitamin D deficiency and metabolic disorders in Saudi populations, suggesting critical public health implications.

Key Points

Vitamin D deficiency affects around 50% to 85% of the Saudi population, significantly impairing health outcomes.
The deficiency is linked to increased fasting glucose levels and insulin resistance, critical factors in type 2 diabetes management.
A comprehensive literature search identified 43 studies that underline the prevalence and effects of vitamin D deficiency in relation to metabolic disorders.
Recommendations include routine screening and public health strategies to address the widespread deficiency and associated health risks.
