Introduction: Vitamin D in the human body plays a very important role.

Aim: The aim of the study was identify the differences in concentration of 25OH vitamin D₃ in blood and compared with anthropometrics and biochemicals results of researched group of people.

Materials and methods: To research were included 212 patients hospitalized on Endocrinology Department of Hospital in Poland in 2012. Patients were divided into three groups adequately to the division created by Erik Erikson. As a correct values of 25OH vitamin D₃ was adopted level above 30 ng/dl, as deficiency values 12–30 ng/dl, severe deficiency below <12 ng/dl. Obtained data were collected and analyzed in STATISTICA 10 program (statistical significance α=0.05).

Results: The study included people aged 21–82 years. Among 74% of researched people were observed deficiency of 25OH vitamin D₃, 15% of this group has severe deficiency. Significant statistical differences were observed between BMI in first and second group (P=0.041); waist measurement value (WC) (P=0.001), WHR value (P=0.00002), the value of the WHtR (P=0.00021) in the first group and the second as well as the first and third.The differences were observed between concentration of total cholesterol level (P=0.005), cholesterol LDL fraction (P=0.015) and level of glycemic (P=0.036) in first and second group.

Conclusions: Obtained results in research show that in age range 21–65 with age there is an increase of values: BMI, WHR, WHtR, WC and increase concentration the level of total cholesterol, cholesterol LDL and glycemic levels.
