Global vitamin D status and determinants of hypovitaminosis D (2009, background): “Several criteria have been used to define sufficient 25(OH)D levels, including the level associated with optimal suppression of circulating PTH levels, greatest calcium absorption, highest bone mineral density (BMD), lowest rates of bone loss, falls, or fractures [16].”
Vitamin D status: measurement, interpretation, and clinical application. (2009, background): “25(OH)D is the only vitamin D metabolite that is used to determine whether a patient is vitamin D deficient, sufficient or intoxicated (1, 4, 16, 17).”
Vitamin D and calcium intake in relation to type 2 diabetes in women. (2006, methodology): “Statistical analysis We divided vitamin D intake and calcium intake into clinically relevant categories based on the latest guidelines set by the Institute of Medicine (18) and expert opinion (19).”
Evaluation, treatment, and prevention of vitamin D deficiency: an Endocrine Society clinical practice guideline. (2011, background): “Prior estimates have ranged from as little as 12 to as high as 40 ng/ml (107).”
Hypovitaminosis D in British adults at age 45 y: nationwide cohort study of dietary and lifestyle predictors. (2007, methodology): “To apply previously recommended cutoffs for hypovitaminosis D, 25(OH)D concentrations were standardized according to the mean of the values found by the Vitamin D External Quality Assurance Survey (DEQAS) of 100 laboratories around the world (9, 28).”
Unexpected actions of vitamin D: new perspectives on the regulation of innate and adaptive immunity (2008, background): “Although absolute ranges have still yet to be agreed, there has been a broad acceptance that vitamin D deficiency can be defined by serum concentrations of 25OHD that are less than 50 nmol/l, with rachitic patients showing much lower levels than this”
Vitamin D—Effects on Skeletal and Extraskeletal Health and the Need for Supplementation (2013, background): “Vitamin D promotes bone health by maintaining the PTH levels in a physiologically healthy level, stimulating osteoblastic activity, and promoting bone mineralization as well as reducing risk of falls thereby reducing risk of fracture [93,96].”
Prevalence and correlates of vitamin D deficiency in US adults. (2011, background): “However, due to its beneficial effects, the amounts of vitamin D needed for optimal health are probably higher than previously thought [2,23].”
Vitamin D status predicts physical performance and its decline in older persons. (2007, background): “Recently, a group of investigators concluded that estimates of the serum 25-OHD concentration that is optimal for bone health ranged from 20 –32 ng/ml (39).”
Association of vitamin D deficiency with heart failure and sudden cardiac death in a large cross-sectional study of patients referred for coronary angiography. (2008, methodology): “Based on 25(OH)D concentrations, we formed four vitamin D categories according to widely used cutoff values (2, 3, 25): severe vitamin D deficiency, less than 25.”
