Abstract：
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the vitamin D status and determine the factors influencing it in the Drâa-Tafilalet community (southeastern Morocco). Sociodemographic factors, health, cognitive status, sun exposure, and nutritional conditions were examined to help us understand their association with vitamin D status. Vitamin D data were gathered through laboratory testing, while demographic and health information was collected through interviews with participants in 2023. The study involved 100 participants aged 60 and above, most of whom were women (85%) rather than men (15%). The majority of participants were Arabs (90%), with a minority being Amazigh (10%). The average vitamin D level was 31.83 ± 10.55 ng/mL, varying based on participants\' age, education, and gender. Sun-exposed individuals exhibited significantly higher mean vitamin D levels (33.56 ± 11.99 ng/mL) compared to those with limited sun exposure (28.97 ± 9.28 ng/mL). Moreover, the time spent outdoors, seasonal changes, and the duration of sun exposure affected the levels of vitamin D. These findings depict the vitamin D status of the elderly population of Drâa-Tafilalet, recognized as one of Morocco\'s poorest regions, shedding light on the significant influencers. Nonetheless, additional research is necessary to explore the correlation between dietary habits, sunlight exposure, and vitamin D levels in both young and elderly populations.
摘要：
这项研究的目的是评估维生素D的状况，并确定影响其在Dráa-Tafilalet社区（摩洛哥东南部）的因素。社会人口因素，健康,认知状态，阳光照射,和营养条件进行了检查，以帮助我们了解它们与维生素D状态的关系。维生素D数据是通过实验室测试收集的，而人口统计和健康信息是通过2023年对参与者的访谈收集的。这项研究涉及100名60岁及以上的参与者，其中大多数是女性(85%)，而不是男性(15%)。大多数参与者是阿拉伯人（90％）。少数人是阿马齐格(10%)。平均维生素D水平为31.83±10.55ng/mL，根据参与者的年龄不同，教育,和性别。与阳光照射有限的个体（28.97±9.28ng/mL）相比，阳光照射的个体表现出更高的平均维生素D水平（33.56±11.99ng/mL）。此外，在户外度过的时间，季节性变化,和日晒的持续时间影响维生素D的水平。这些发现描述了博士-塔菲拉莱老年人群的维生素D状况，被公认为摩洛哥最贫穷的地区之一，照亮了重要的影响者。尽管如此，需要更多的研究来探索饮食习惯之间的相关性，阳光照射,年轻人和老年人群的维生素D水平。
