TLDR
Considering that vitamin D deficiency is very common in all age groups and that few foods contain vitamin D, the Task Force recommended supplementation at suggested daily intake and tolerable upper limit levels, depending on age and clinical circumstances.Abstract:
Objective: The objective was to provide guidelines to clinicians for the evaluation, treatment, and prevention of vitamin D deficiency with an emphasis on the care of patients who are at risk for deficiency. Participants: The Task Force was composed of a Chair, six additional experts, and a methodologist. The Task Force received no corporate funding or remuneration. Consensus Process: Consensus was guided by systematic reviews of evidence and discussions during several conference calls and e-mail communications. The draft prepared by the Task Force was reviewed successively by The Endocrine Society's Clinical Guidelines Subcommittee, Clinical Affairs Core Committee, and cosponsoring associations, and it was posted on The Endocrine Society web site for member review. At each stage of review, the Task Force received written comments and incorporated needed changes. Conclusions: Considering that vitamin D deficiency is very common in all age groups and that few foods contain vitamin D, the Task Force recomme...read more

Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentration and Risk for Major Clinical Disease Events in a Community-Based Population of Older Adults: A Cohort Study
Ian H. de Boer,Gregory P. Levin,Cassianne Robinson-Cohen,Mary L. Biggs,Andrew N. Hoofnagle,David S. Siscovick,Bryan Kestenbaum +6 more
TL;DR: Threshold concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D associated with increased risk for relevant clinical disease events center near 50 nmol/L (20 ng/mL), suggesting season-specific targets for 25-(OH)D concentration may be more appropriate than static targets when evaluating health risk.
