Abstract
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the correlation between vitamin D level and pain, functional status, and quality of life in individuals with osteoarthritis (OA). 
 Material and Method: This cross-sectional and descriptive study was completed with 138 individuals. The study was carried out between April 15 and August 30, 2019, at the Orthopedics Clinic of a Research and Practice Hospital. 
 Results: 70.3% of the individuals had a vitamin D level of 20 ng/ml and less. It was determined that there was no significant correlation between individuals' vitamin D levels and age, VAS, WOMAC, and SF-36 subscales (p>0.05). 
 Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is very common in individuals with OA. It may be recommended to conduct randomized controlled studies with larger sample size.
