Vitamin D insufficiency increases bone turnover markers and enhances bone loss at the hip in patients with established vertebral osteoporosis.
    Clinical endocrinology, 1999, Volume: 51, Issue:2

    The aim of this study was to determine whether the presence of vitamin D insufficiency increases bone turnover and enhances bone loss by examining the relationship between bone turnover markers and Bone mineral density (BMD) in vitamin D insufficient and vitamin D sufficient patients, with established vertebral osteoporosis.. 119 consecutive, active, community dwelling, elderly women were assessed over a 7-month period between the months of March to October.. There was a significant correlation between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), r = - 0. 42 (P < 0.01). The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency was 26.9% (defined by a 25(OH)D >/= 6.1 microg/l and
