Vitamin D deficiency: a worldwide problem with health consequences. (2008, background): “30 ng/mL are considered to be sufficient (10–15; Figure 2) This is based on the observation that intestinal calcium absorption is maximized above 80 nmol/L, or 32 ng/mL, in postmenopausal women (16) and that parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations in adults continue to decline and reach their nadir”
Evaluation, treatment, and prevention of vitamin D deficiency: an Endocrine Society clinical practice guideline. (2011, background): “Specifically, vitamin D deficiency causes a decrease in the efficiency of intestinal calcium and phosphorus absorption of dietary calcium and phosphorus, resulting in an increase in PTH levels (3, 10, 22, 23).”
Global vitamin D status and determinants of hypovitaminosis D (2009, background): “Of 1,536 postmenopausal women residing throughout the USA who were taking pharmacotherapy for osteoporosis, 18% had 25(OH)D levels below 50 nmol/L and 52% had levels below 75 nmol/L [125].”
Vitamin D2 is as effective as vitamin D3 in maintaining circulating concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. (2008, methodology): “Serum 25(OH)D2 and 25(OH)D3 were determined by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy at Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute, San Juan Capistrano, CA (10).”
Vitamin D: The “sunshine” vitamin (2012, background): “VDD causes a decrease in the absorption of dietary calcium and phosphorus, resulting in an increase in PTH levels.[1,3,18,43] The PTH-mediated increase in osteoclastic activity creates local foci of bone weakness and causes a generalized decrease in bone mineral density (BMD), resulting in osteopeni”
Is the incidence of rheumatoid arthritis rising? Results from Olmsted County, Minnesota, 1955-2007 (2010, background): “In addition, the incidence of vitamin D deficiency has been demonstrated to be increasing over the previous decades, particularly in women (44).”
Guidelines for preventing and treating vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency revisited. (2012, background): “J Clin Endocrinol Metab 90:3215–3224, 2005 (8), with permission.”
