Vitamin D and parathyroid hormone in relation to bone health in Croatian women

ConclusionsOur results showed that threshold level of 25(OH)D below which iPTH started to rise was 46.9  nmol/l. There was no negative impact of iPTH on BMD or bone turnover markers in women with severe 25(OH)D deficiency. This might be due to the relatively young age of our participants in whom the unfavorable effect of 25(OH)D deficiency on bone might have not yet appeared.
