Abstract in brief

This study investigates how air pollution and low ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation impact vitamin D levels in healthy women, comparing those living in Tehran, a highly polluted city, with women in Ghazvin, a less polluted area.
The findings reveal that women in Ghazvin had significantly higher vitamin D levels and lower rates of deficiency compared to women in Tehran, even after adjusting for other factors.
Living in a polluted environment was associated with a higher risk of vitamin D deficiency, suggesting that air pollution may negatively affect vitamin D status by reducing UVB exposure.]
