Summary
New research by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) suggests women in North America are deficient in vitamin D, probably due to physicians overlooking vitamin-D deficiency in patients, and thereby overlooking vitamin D as a treatment for osteoporosis. The study of 1,554 postmenopausal women showed that 52 percent had "suboptimal" vitamin D concentrations, and underscored a need for patient and doctor education on the benefits of vitamin D in the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Vitamin D is primarily found in oily fish, cod liver oil, some vegetables and fortified milk, cereals and breads.

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.
