Optimal vitamin D status and its relationship with bone and mineral metabolism in Hong Kong Chinese

TL;DR: The threshold for 25OHD at the point of maximal suppression of PTH estimated in this study was lower than the suggested threshold of vitamin D deficiency in the literature, perhaps due to race or assay differences, and the relationship between vitamin D and PTH changed with sex and age.
