Add as Preferred SourceThings worth knowing about "Vitamin D deficiency"
A vitamin D deficiency occurs when the body does not have enough vitamin D available. This often occurs in the case of insufficient sun exposure;
Vitamin D deficiency can occur due to lack sun exposure, insufficient nutrition or disorders of the vitamin D metabolic pathways. A deficiency often leads to bone weakness, rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. In the long term, low vitamin D levels can also increase the risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and a weakened immune system.
Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency can start subtly but often include fatigue, muscle weakness and diffuse bone pain. In severe cases, bone softening can occur - known as rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. Vitamin D deficiency can also impair immune function and increase susceptibility to infections, particularly of the respiratory tract. Studies also suggest that a deficiency may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders and depression.
In the long term, untreated vitamin D deficiency can have serious health consequences, in particular a decrease in bone density, which increases the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures. To treat a vitamin D deficiency, regular sun exposure, the intake of vitamin D-rich foods and, in many cases, the intake of food supplements are recommended. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent long-term damage and promote health.
