Prevalence of Vitamin D Inadequacy among Postmenopausal North American Women Receiving Osteoporosis Therapy

TL;DR: Prevalence of suboptimal 25(OH)D was significantly higher in subjects who took less than 400 vs. 400 IU/d or more vitamin D, and there was a significant negative correlation between serum PTH concentrations and 25( OH)D.

Effectiveness and safety of vitamin D in relation to bone health.

TL;DR: The largest body of evidence on vitamin D status and bone health was in older adults with a lack of studies in premenopausal women and infants, children and adolescents, and there was fair evidence of an association between low circulating 25(OH)D concentrations and established rickets.

Bone mineralization defects and vitamin D deficiency: Histomorphometric analysis of iliac crest bone biopsies and circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D in 675 patients

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that pathologic mineralization defects of bone occur in patients with a serum 25(OH)D below 75 nmol/L and strongly argue that in conjunction with a sufficient calcium intake, the dose of vitamin D supplementation should ensure that circulating levels of 25( OH)D reach this minimum threshold to maintain skeletal health.

The Vitamin D requirement in health and disease

TL;DR: The tolerable upper intake level (TUIL) is too low to permit optimization of Vitamin D status in the general population and actual toxicity is not seen below serum 25OHD values of 250nmol/L.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of vitamin D inadequacy among postmenopausal north american women receiving osteoporosis therapy

TL;DR: More than half of North American women receiving therapy to treat or prevent osteoporosis have vitamin D inadequacy, underscoring the need for improved physician and public education regarding optimization of vitamin D status in this population.

Donald W. Cockcroft, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1976 - 
TL;DR: A formula has been developed to predict Creatinine clearance from serum creatinine (Scr) in adult males: Ccr = (140 – age) (wt kg)/72 × Scr (mg/100ml) (15% less i).

Prevalence of Vitamin D Insufficiency in an Adult Normal Population

TL;DR: The results showed that in French normal adults living in an urban environment with a lack of direct exposure to sunshine, diet failed to provide an adequate amount of vitamin D, and the clinical utility of winter supplementation with low doses ofitamin D was discussed.

Occult vitamin D deficiency in postmenopausal US women with acute hip fracture

TL;DR: Postmenopausal community-living women who presented with hip fracture showed occult vitamin D deficiency and suppression of parathyroid hormone at the time of fracture may reduce future fracture risk and facilitate hip fracture repair.
