Abstract: Background: 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency is a novel CV risk factor, predicting both CV events and mortality. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum vitamin D levels in ischemic stroke patients in compare to normal population. Method: 217 patients with ischemic stroke (CT scan confirmed) were selected for analysis between ages 45 and 80 yrs. , admitted at our hospital. Measurements of serum vitamin D concentration were made by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay and Confounding variables like diabetes, hypertension, smoking, alcohol, tobacco, dyslipidemia, BMI, CRP, S. uric acid, duration of sunlight exposure, prior history of drug intake or fracture, S. calcium, phosphorous and PTH levels were considered.200 age and sex matched controls were taken. The source of data were questionnaires and multiple linear regression analysis and correlation analysis were used. Result: Vitamin D deficiency was higher in cases (87 %) as compared to controls (78 %) and this association was found to be statistically significant (Chi square = 5.409, df=1, P
