Vitamin D
Vit. D is a fat soluble vitamin and its synthesized in the body
1 billion people worldwide have Vit D deficiency or insufficiency
96.7% Asian-Indian patients have Vitamin D deficiency and are fragile hip fracture (J Assoc Physicians India. 2010 Sep;58:539-42)

Function Of Vitamin DCalcium absorption in the intestines and is
required for the efficient utilization of dietary calcium.
Involved in cellular growth, differentiation and apoptosis.
Simulates insulin secretion.
Modulates the immune system.
Reduces inflammation.
Muscle development

Diagnostic Test
Measurement of 25(OH) vitamin D serum levels best reflects the vitamin D status of an individual.
Normal : >30 ng/ml (>75 nmol/L)
Insufficiency : 20-30 ng/ml (50-75 nmol/L)
Deficiency : <20 ng/ml (<50 nmol/L)

Causes
Decreased sun exposure/sunscreen ◦ SPF 15 decreases vitamin D3 synthesis by
99%
Decreased intake of foods rich in vitamin D
Impaired absorption due to air pollution
Chronic kidney disease
