Abstract

The health consequences of vitamin D deficiency are a global problem. The incidence of osteoporosis as well as other myoskeletal diseases is increasing.

In doing so, the appropriate supplementation with vitamin D can be used to prevent and treat these diseases. Unfortunately, the laboratory determination of vitamin D is costly and it is not possible to carry out general screening, but to focus at least on people with a higher risk of deficit.

The article answers the question of how to identify these people.
