Popis: ObjectivesLow back pain (LBP) is a common medical problem worldwide. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between serum concentration of 25-hydroxivitamin D3 and functional disability in patients suffering from LBP in a sample of Azeri middle-aged subjects, North West of Iran.ResultsIn this case–control study, 63 eligible patients with LBP and 55 healthy subjects enrolled in the study. Peripheral venous blood was taken for evaluating the serum concentration of 25-hydroxivitamin D3. We recognized factors related with LBP by multiple regression analyses. The average serum 25-hydroxivitamin D3 concentration in case group was significantly lower than that of the matched controlled group (26.25 ± 15.95 vs. 34.20 ± 14.92, p-value
