Details

• Vitamin D inadequacy may be overlooked by clinicans thus leading to inadequate vitamin D supplementation in patients with osteoporosis, according to new research issued today at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) Fourteenth Annual Meeting and Clinical Congress.
• A study of 1,554 postmenopausal women showed that 52% of these women had suboptimal vitamin D concentrations.
• Most study participants were healthy, ambulatory, community-dwelling, white women who were well educated.
• These results underscore a need for improved physician and patient education regarding optimization of vitamin D status in the care of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
• VitaminD is not widely available in natural food sources.
• It is primarily found in fish oils (including cod liver oil), some vegetables, and fortified milk, cereals, and breads.
• If appropriate, vitamin D supplements may be prescribed.
