Background and objectives: despite long hours of sunlight in Spain, vitamin D deficiency has been rising of late. We aimed to describe vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in at-risk patients in La Rioja, a region in northern Spain. Methods: a retrospective, cross-sectional study involving 21,490 patients (74.3 % women) aged 14-105 years, who were primary health care (PHC) users in La Rioja, with an available 25-hidroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) test result corresponding to the first request from January 2013 to October 2015. Vitamin D deficiency, insufficiency, and sufficiency were defined as 25(OH)D levels < 12 ng/mL, 12-20 ng/mL, and ≥ 20 ng/mL, respectively. Hypovitaminosis D was defined considering 2 cut-off points for 25(OH)D: < 20 ng/mL and < 30 ng/mL. Results: mean 25(OH)D levels were 18.3 (SD, 11.6) ng/mL in the whole sample, being lower in men than in women (17.6 vs 18.5 ng/mL, p < 0.001). Significantly higher 25(OH)D levels were found in the groups with 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, and 70-74 years of age (range, 19.4-20.4 ng/mL), and lower levels were found in the groups with 80-85 years and older (16.7 and 14.5 ng/mL), as compared to other groups. Two thirds of the population were vitamin D-deficient (< 12 ng/mL, 30.9 %) or insufficient (12-20 ng/mL, 32.8 %), and only 32.8 % of patients were found to be vitamin D-sufficient (> 20 ng/ml). Hypovitaminosis D rate was higher (89.7 %) when the 25(OH)D cut-off point was set at < 30 ng/mL. A higher hypovitaminosis D rate (< 20 ng/mL) was found in men (67.1 %) vs women (62.6 %) (p < 0.001), and it was more prevalent in patients over 75 years (72.6 %). The prevalence of hypovitaminosis D followed a seasonal pattern ranging from 51.8 % to 76.5 %; the lowest 25(OH)D levels were found in winter, and the highest in summer, with levels above 20 ng/mL in all age groups except for patients over 75 years (17.7 ng/mL). Patients over 75 years exhibited high rates of deficiency or insufficiency across all seasons of the year. Conclusions: in La Rioja, Spain, hypovitaminosis D was highly prevalent among PHC users, and especially in older age groups and during the winter months.
