The aim of the study was to investigate long-term effects of vitamin D deficiency on gait-balance parameters in older adults. Methods 370 patients who applied to the geriatric outpatient clinic three times at six-months intervals and underwent comprehensive geriatric assessment(CGA), were ...
There is consensus that severe vitamin D deficiency (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentration <30 nmol/l) should be corrected, whereas most guidelines recommend serum 25OHD concentrations of >50 nmol/l for optimal bone health in older adults. However, the causal link between vitamin D...

You can have blood tests done to determine if you are deficient in vitamin D. Your 25(OH)D level will be measured. Most experts agree that a 25(OH)D level below <20 ng/mL represents vitamin D deficiency. Research has shown strong relationships between lower rates of chronic diseases and...
1, has essential biological roles across a number of organ and tissue systems. Vitamin C refers to both ascorbic acid and the oxidised form of this molecule, dehydroascorbic acid, while ascorbate refers to the anion of ascorbic acid [1]. Vitamin C deficiency can result in scurvy, which ...
Vitamin D deficiency has been reported to affect liver function biomarkers. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of consuming vitamin D fortified low-fat dairy products on liver function tests in adults with abdominal obesity. Methods ...
Patients with TB have a high rate of vitamin D deficiency, both at diagnosis and during the course of treatment with anti-tuberculosis drugs. Although data on the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) clearance are uncertain from randomized controlled trials (RCTs...
There is growing recognition that vitamin D deficiency is very common in critically ill adults and children, with or without sepsis (1–10). Low serum concentrations of the biomarker of vitamin D status, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D), when documented at intensive care unit (ICU) admission,...
