      ab: Objective: Manic and mixed episodes of bipolar disorder are important episodes of this disorder. The aim of the current study was to assess serum vitamin D (SVD) levels in patients with mania and mixed bipolar disorder, compared to healthy subjects. Method: The current cross-sectional study was conducted on 75 subjects, including healthy subjects (n = 25), patients with acute-phase mania (n = 25), and patients with mixed bipolar disorder (n = 25). The SVD levels were measured in all of the enrolled subjects. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), and Clinical Global Impression- Severity (CGI-S) were used to assess disease activity in patient groups. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 18. For statistical analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA), independent-sample t test, Pearson correlation, and Chi-square tests were utilized. P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The results showed that the mean of SVD was significantly lower in mania and mixed bipolar patients compared to healthy subjects (P < 0.05). In addition, the number of subjects with SVD ≥ 20 ng/ml was higher in the healthy group compared to the patient groups (P < 0.05). Also, SVD was negatively correlated with the CGI-S (r = -0.311; P = 0.028), YMRS (r = -0.464; P = 0.001), and HDRS (r = -0.393; P = 0.005) in the total patient subjects. Conclusion: Prevalence of low SVD was considerably high in mania and mixed bipolar patients compared to healthy subjects. Additionally, meaningful negative correlations were found between SVD and disease activity-related variables including the HDRS, YMRS, and CGI-S.
