Background: Diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease associated with vascular complications. We aimed to evaluate the relationship of vitamin D deficiency, dyslipidemia, and obesity with the incidence of coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods: The study included 200 Saudi adult subjects, aged 40 - 60 years, of both genders, attending King Abdulaziz Specialist Hospital in Taif city.
Background/aim: Vitamin D deficiency accelerates the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) have been linked to coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aimed to evaluate the association of vitamin D deficiency and VDR polymorphism with CAD in T2DM.

Previous studies reported an important role of vitamin D in modulation of inflammatory response. We aimed to investigate the role of vitamin D deficiency and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α) as markers for the progression of diabetic nephropathy in Saudi patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

- The study translated and adapted the Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire (OxAFQ-c) into Arabic for children aged 5-16 in Saudi Arabia to assess foot and ankle problems.
- The Arabic version showed strong reliability and construct validity, meaning it consistently measures what it's intended to measure.
- It is now a useful tool in clinical practice and research for evaluating the quality of life related to ankle-foot conditions in Arabic-speaking children.
Background: Diabetes mellitus type 2 and vitamin D deficiency are both prevalent in the Saudi Arabia. Vitamin D deficiency treatment with supplements carries a risk of intoxication.
Aim: The present study is aimed at elucidating the effect of exercise on modulation of metabolic status and vitamin D level in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Background: Obesity among children became of high concern. Obesity can affect many health aspects including muscular strength. Downhill walking is a useful intervention to enhance muscular strength, especially in older adults.

Aim: The study is aimed at comparing the effect of two exercise intensities on the modulation of vitamin D and parathormone levels in children with DS.
Background: Obesity contributes to the acquired flatfoot deformity which in turn impairs balance.
Aim: The purpose of the current study was to compare the effect of plyometric exercises with flatfoot corrective exercises on balance, foot posture, and functional mobility in obese children with a flexible flatfoot.
Methods: Forty-seven children participated in the study.
