Abstract: BACKGROUND: IDA is a common disorder with multiple underlying causes that may be influenced by a person's age, the length of their symptoms, and other biochemical indicators. The most prevalent condition among premenopausal women is premenstrual syndrome (PMS).Women with PMS had lower blood calcium and vitamin D levels than healthy women, and calcium supplements may help symptoms feel less severe. Everywhere in the world, osteoporosis is regarded as a serious public health issue. Preventive measures must therefore be taken throughout the life course. METHODOLOGY: In 161 individuals, our goal was to look into the relationship between IDA and a number of clinical characteristics. To identify possible correlations with IDA, the patients' age, the length of their complaints, their calcium levels, and their vitamin D levels were evaluated. The study assessed vit D and calcium level with IDA in 161 patients enrolled after ethical committee approval. Information and data were collected using a predesign proforma. The study did not include individuals who were unwilling. The Chi-square test was regarded as significant (P value 0.05). RESULTS: According to our findings, the majority (58.4%) of the reported concerns for an average of 58.4 months, and the mean age of the was 38.6 years. Furthermore, authentic cases of IDA were found in 54% of patients. There was no clear relationship between age and the prevalence of IDA when looking at age groups. Patients under 40 years old (56%) and those beyond 40 years old (52.3%) both showed notable IDA incidences. In a similar vein, the length of complaints had little bearing on the chance of IDA development because the percentage of instances remained constant. We looked at calcium and vitamin D levels as two significant biochemical markers in relation to IDA. Notably, IDA was found to have a strong correlation with low vitamin D levels, with low vitamin D levels present in 79.8% of IDA patients. Calcium levels, on the other hand, did not show a strong correlation with IDA. CONCLUSION: Our work shows that IDA and clinical factors interact in a complicated way. Age and the length of the complaint do not appear to be reliable indicators of IDA, however low vitamin D levels seem to be closely related to the condition. Our findings emphasize the significance of taking numerous factors into account when diagnosing and treating iron deficient anemia, with a focus on the potential contribution of vitamin D to its etiology. Additional prospective studies are required to confirm and build upon these findings, possibly directing better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for IDA patients.
