Some nutrients including vitamin D, B12, and folate deficiency have been considered risk factors for depression. Therefore, this study has been contemplated to find out the possible association of vitamin D, B12, and folate deficiency with depression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study included 81 case subjects with depression and 95 control subjects without any International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 diagnosis. The sociodemographic details were collected from each subject. Beck\u2019s Depression Inventory (BDI) was administered to identify the severity of depression. The blood samples were collected and measured for vitamin D, B12, and folate along with other laboratory investigations as per exclusion criteria. The data were obtained and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean age \u00b1 standard deviation (SD) of the case and control subjects were 34.86 \u00b1 9.25 and 33.49 \u00b1 8.44, respectively, without any significant difference (P &gt; 0.05). The subjects with vitamin D deficiency were found to have four times higher odds (OR 4.703; 95% CI = 2.378\u20139.300) for depression compared to subjects with sufficient vitamin D levels. In addition, there was a negative correlation between vitamin D levels and the severity of depression as per BDI scoring (r = -.384, P &lt; 0.01). However, there was no significant association identified between the case and control group with respect to serum vitamin B12 and folate levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results of the study revealed that vitamin D deficiency has an association with depression.
