Objective: To find correlation of 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD) levels with various clinical biochemicals, anthropometric parameters in patients of PCOS. Study design: Cross-sectional observational study. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted at Obstetrics and Gynaecological dept. of Jawaharlal Lal Nehru medical college, AMU, Aligarh, for a period of 2 years, 2018-2020. A total number of 100 PCOS patients satisfying inclusion criteria were enrolled for the study. Frequency of Vit-D deficiency in study group was estimated. Correlation of Vit-D levels with various clinical, anthropometrical, biochemical parameters was evaluated. Based on Vit –D levels the study population was divided in to Vit-D deficient and non-deficient individuals and Paired sample t-test was used to assess changes in quantitative variables. Pearson product moment co-relation analysis was used to see correlation among different variables. Qualitative variables were interpreted using Chi square test. Statistical analysis was performed using computer program SPSS version 25.0. Observations and Results: The results of 100 PCOS patients were analysed. Vit-D deficiency was found in 74% of PCOS population. Vitamin D correlated inversely with LH, FSH Prolactin and Testosteron levels (r=-0.213, p 0.05,r=-0.101;p>0.05; r = 0.246, p<0.01).)Though significant correlation was found with LH and testosteron only.
