Abstract
Abstract. An assessment of vitamin D status was performed in firefighters of the State Firefighting Service of Russia Emercom. It is shown that among young men – firefighters vitamin D deficiency is quite common and in the summer months, reduction of vitamin D levels below 50 nmol/L was found in 35 % of cases. These data support an association of low vitamin D levels with the development of osteodeficiency and pathology of hard tissues of the teeth, and show the need for control and correction of the vitamin D status.
