Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a significant public health concern. Menopausal women often encounter it as a result of the aging and ovarian effects. This study's objective was to evaluate vitamin D3, clinical indicators, and metabolic hormones in menopausal women with hypothyroidism who also had diabetes. The study was done during the period of (JULY 2024 to SEPTEMPER 2024) on (45) hypothyroidism diabetic women in Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Baghdad, Iraq, compared with (45) control their ages were about (35--54) years. The results show that the BMI level increase in patients with hypothyroidism compared with the control group. Patients with hypothyroidism showed a significant decreased in D3, TT3, TT4, ca, and ALP in contrast to the control group, but a significant increase in TSH, FBS, and HbA1c. It is possible to draw the conclusion that a Vitamin D3 deficiency can interfere with symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as fatigue and muscle weakness. When thyroid hormones are under-secreted, this can lead to disturbances in vitamin and mineral metabolism, increasing the likelihood of vitamin D3 deficiency in postmenopausal women.
