Vitamin D and vitamin D analogues for preventing fractures in post-menopausal women and older men.
CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D alone is unlikely to prevent fractures in the doses and formulations tested so far in older people. Supplements of vitamin D and calcium may prevent hip or any type of fracture. There was a small but significant increase in gastrointestinal symptoms and renal disease associated with vitamin D and calcium. This review found that there was no increased risk of death from taking calcium and vitamin D. PMID: 24729336 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Vitamin D, arterial hypertension & cerebrovascular disease.
Vitamin D, arterial hypertension & cerebrovascular disease. Indian J Med Res. 2013 Apr;137(4):669-679 Authors: Kienreich K, Grubler M, Tomaschitz A, Schmid J, Verheyen N, Rutters F, Dekker JM, Pilz S Abstract Vitamin D is mainly derived from endogenous ultraviolet-B induced vitamin D synthesis in the skin, and the current high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency can, therefore, largely be attributed to lifestyle related low sunlight exposure. Regulation of bone and mineral metabolism is a classic vitamin D effect, but the identification of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in almost all human cells suggests ...

Assessment of Vitamin D Deficiency in Patients with Neurological Disorders (P03.271)
CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study may have been biased by the type of the study population (hospital-based) and the small size of the sample. However, the frequent association between Vitamin D deficiency and neurologic disorders indicates that this vitamin may have a fundamental role in physiologic and pathological processes of the Nervous System, particularly in patients over 65 years of age. Vitamin D deficiency should be investigated routinely in clinical practice as the detection of this parameter may have important therapeutic implications.Disclosure: Dr. Triggiani has nothing to disclose.
