Table 3: Women and men of the study group were divided into three age classes. Women were divided into premenopausal, menopausal and postmenopausal. Men weredivided depending on their age into preandropausal (22-46 years), andropausal (47-67 years) and postandropausal (68-83 years) groups depending on age. 25(OH)D₃serum levels are shown in mean with SD. Vitamin D supplementation is shown in percentage. Men preandropausal (N=4), andropausal men (N=10), men postandropausal(N=12), women premenopausal (N=18), women menopausal (N=48), women postmenopausal (N=22).
