Prevalence and correlates of vitamin D deficiency in US adults. (2011, background): “By different cutoff points, vitamin D deficiency was found to be common in certain subpopulations, including elder adults (41% using 25-hydroxyvitamin D level ≤20 ng/mL) [20], African Americans (61% using 25-hydroxyvitamin D level ≤15 ng/mL) [26], and women with osteoporosis (64% using 25-hydroxyvit”
Evaluation, treatment, and prevention of vitamin D deficiency: an Endocrine Society clinical practice guideline. (2011, background): “Vitamin D given three times a year, once a week, or once a day can be effective in maintaining serum 25(OH)D levels in both children and adults (23, 47, 61, 96, 102).”
Global vitamin D status and determinants of hypovitaminosis D (2009, background): “An international epidemiological investigation conducted in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis from Mexico (n = 149), Chile (n = 115), and Brazil (n = 151) found lower values of 25(OH)D in Mexico than in Chile and Brazil [82].”
Vitamin D: The “sunshine” vitamin (2012, background): “Vitamin D that comes from the skin or diet is biologically inert and requires its first hydroxylation in the liver by the vitamin D-25-hydroxylase (25-OHase) to 25(OH)D.[3,11] However, 25(OH)D requires a further hydroxylation in the kidneys by the 25(OH)D-1-OHase (CYP27B1) to form the biologically a”
