Sunshine vitamin (Vitamin D). It’s a fat-soluble prohormone, Vitamin D very importance of bone health in humans (children and adults). It’s synthesized in response to sunlight. The aim of study was measure the level of Vitamin D in human body by collecting (100) individuals of patient in different sites of Basra city (southern of Iraq) during period from the 1st September to the 31th December, 2019. The patient age range was start from (5 month up to 62 years). Each sample was examined by the technique of (ECL) which is electrochemiluminescence (Cobas e 411 analyzer, Roche Company, Germany). The study shown that there are 83%patients were having abnormal level; while 17%patient was normal or sufficient. 82% of patients had a low level of vitamin D, only 1% of patients had a very high level of vitamin (toxic).There are 63% out of 82% had insufficiency and abider 19% had deficiency. The normal level of Vitamin D must be acquire any number between ( 30 – 80 ) ng/mL is and essential to keep a healthy body between (10-30) ng/mL is consider insufficiency, below (10) ng/mL is deficient. The increase of Vitamin D level over (80) ng/mL is poison. The deficiency of Vitamin D level detailed the highest rate (6) cases in age (20 – 29), and age (40-49) years. Both ages in (1 day-9) years and (60-and over) does not having any deficiency, whereas a highest rate (18) cases in age (20-29) years was insufficiency in vitamin D level, one cases in age (60 and over) was the lowest.
