Popis: This study aimed to analyze the impact of light on the amount of 25- hydroxyvitamin D [25-(OH) D] in the processed serums of the participants that have been referred to the diagnostic lab (King Diagnostic Laboratory) which process tests for around 150 collection sites around ErbiL, Iraq. Scientists and researchers have declared a strong association between vitamin D status and various health issues. Many studies have now shifted to the interaction among/between genes and environment that impact different illnesses correlated with vitamin D. During the periods between 01/April/2020 till 01/April/2021, the total number of cases (N = 5800) of vitamin D content detection in serum have been performed. However, this investigation found that there was a high deficiency (%) in vitamin D levels (nearly 80 %) among the participants contributed to our study and data analysis revealed that they had 25-(OH) D levels very less at 20 μg/L concentration. The amount of vitamin D levels did not vary about with respect to gender and no statistical significance between female and male participants were observed (P > 0.05), moreover, the variation in the group that was subjected to light differed significiantly (P > 0.05). The present research work reveals that there is a significant variation in the use of dark and light collection and testing tube in the process of detecting serum vitamin D levels.
