[Prevalensi defisiensi vitamin D pada wanita 50 tahun ke atas di Indonesia cukup
tinggi namun pemeriksaan kadar vitamin D serum sangat mahal. Oleh karena itu,
diperlukan alat penyaring defisiensi vitamin D yang cukup ekonomis dan sederhana
untuk dikerjakan di layanan kesehatan primer. Penelitian ini menemukan hubungan
yang bermakna secara statistik antara diabetes mellitus, skor proteksi matahari,
kelemahan otot ekstremitas bawah dengan defisiensi vitamin D. Berdasarkan ketiga
determinan tersebut, dapat dibuat sistem skoring yang dapat digunakan untuk
menyaring kelompok wanita 50 tahun ke atas yang mempunyai probabilitas besar
menderita defisiensi vitamin D.;Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Indonesian women aged above 50 years is quite high, but serum vitamin D laboratory examination is very expensive.
Therefore, simple and economic screening tool of vitamin D deficiency is required
in the primary care setting. This research found a statistically significant correlation
between diabetes mellitus, sun protection score, and weakness of lower extremity,
with vitamin D deficiency. Based on these three determinants, a scoring system can
be created to identify women aged above 50 years with high probability of having
vitamin D deficiency., Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Indonesian women aged above 50 years is
