This study found a significant moderate correlation between blood vitamin D levels and endometriosis stage, with lower vitamin D negatively impacting stage severity.

This study investigated the relationship between ovarian endometriosis (“endometrosis” of the ovary) and blood vitamin D levels, examining correlations with endometriosis stage, anti-Müllerian hormone, laterality (right/left), extent of disease, and infertility status, alongside socio-demographic variables (age, parity, smoking). Using descriptive statistics with correlation and regression analyses plus t-tests and one-way ANOVA, the authors found a statistically significant moderate association between vitamin D level and stage, and a regression model indicating vitamin D had a negative, significant effect on stage. The paper’s main limitation is that it does not specify any explicit causal design or control for confounding beyond the listed variables, so findings are correlational. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically ovarian endometriosis and how vitamin D levels relate to disease stage.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction & Aim: The potential role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of endometriosis is a subject that has been studied by researchers. This study was carried out to investigate the correlation between various features of endometriosis and vitamin D levels. Material Methods: Age, parity and smoking variables of the participants were examined as socio-demographic characteristics. Other variables examined in our study are stage, anti-Müllerian hormone and vitamin D levels, the side where endometriosis is seen, either right or left, the extent of endometriosis and infertility status. Descriptive statistical methods, correlation analysis, regression analysis, independent samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance were used. Results: According to the correlation analysis, there is a statistically significant, moderate relationship between the level of vitamin D in the blood and the stage. According to the regression model, vitamin D in the blood has a negative and significant effect on the stage. According to these findings, it can be said that the decrease in vitamin D level will increase the stage status of the patient. Conclusions: The correlation between vitamin D and endometriosis, which is the primary subject of the research, was investigated with three different statistical methods.
