description: Description of the Dataset
This dataset contains clinical data related to patients, including measurements of vitamin D levels, age, sex, disease duration, and various health complications. It was collected to determine the association between vitamin D deficiency and Type 2 DM and its progression. The dataset is structured into several columns, each representing a specific attribute of the patients' clinical profiles.
description: Data Columns and Definitions

1. Registration no: Numeric or alphanumeric unique identifier assigned to each patient.
2. Name: Full name of the patient 

3. vitamin D (ng/ml): Numeric value representing the concentration of vitamin D in the blood.

4. Age (years): Numeric value representing the patient's age.

5. Sex: Text value representing the patient's gender (e.g., M for Male and F for female).

6. Disease duration (years): Numeric value indicating the number of years since the disease was diagnosed.

7. Macro vascular complications: Text value indicating the presence of various macrovascular complications.

8. Micro vascular complications: Text value indicating the presence of various of microvascular complications.

9. acute complications: Text value indicating the presence of various acute complications.

10. Glycemic control hba1c (%): Numeric value representing the percentage of HbA1c in the blood.

11. Glucose fasting (mg/dl): Numeric value representing fasting blood glucose levels.

12. VitaminD_Category: Binary value indicating categorizing vitamin D levels as deficient or sufficient. 

13. Disease duration (years) category: Text value categorizing disease duration.
14. Age category (years): Text value categorizing age.

16. HbA1c category (%): Binary value categorizing HbA1c levels.

17. macrovascular complication category: Binary value categorizing macrovascular complications as present or absent.

18. micrvascular complications category: Binary value categorizing microvascular complications as present or absent.

19. acute complications category: Binary value categorizing acute complications as present or absent.

20. fasting blood glucose (mg/dl) category: Binary value indicating the fasting blood glucose levels as High or normal.

21. Gender: Text value reiterating the patient's gender (e.g., Male, Female).

22. complication yes or no: Binary value indicating the presence (yes) or absence (no) of any complications.

description: Usage Notes

- Ensure to cross-reference the patient identifier (Registration no) with corresponding data entries.

- For categorical data, refer to the codebook or accompanying metadata file for definitions of each category.

- All numeric values are in standard units (ng/ml for vitamin D, years for age and disease duration, mg/dl for glucose levels, percentage for HbA1c).
