Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency is a common condition prevalent among both developed and developing countries where it is seen mostly in females. It has been linked to various skeletal and non-skeletal diseases. This study was done to find out the distribution of Vitamin D deficiency attending the outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was done among the patients attending the outpa¬tient department of a tertiary care hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Methodology: The six months study was conducted from January 2019 to July 2019. The ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee of the institute where we conducted the study. Convenient sampling was done. The collected data was entered in Microsoft Excel and was analyzed in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. Results: Out of 170 participants, the distribution of vitamin D deficiency was 24 (14.1%) and insufficient vitamin D in 59 (34.7%) of the patients. The mean serum vitamin D concentration by gender was 33.20±13.10ng/ml in males and 29.85±9.99 ng/ml in females. Mean age of deficient cases are 18.25±23.47 years and for sufficient cases mean age is 6.92±7.36 years. A total of 16 females and 8 males had vitamin D deficiency. Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency was prevalent especially in girl child.
