Keywords:
Keywords: 25-hydroxyvitamin D; COVID-19 severity; SARS-CoV-2; obesity; vitamin D deficiency.Abstract
Annotation: This study investigates the impact of age, BMI, and vitamin D levels on the severity of COVID-19 in a cohort of 32 patients. It utilizes logistic regression analysis and correlation testing to examine the relationships between these variables and COVID-19 severity, shedding light on potential risk factors and clinical implications.
