Abstract EN
Vitamin D deficiency is not uncommon even in the sunny land of India.
Lack of sun exposure and inadequate oral intake are both responsible for vitamin D deficiency.
This article provides a retrospective, examining the effects of Vitamin D deficiency in 71 patients.
The study's inclusion criterion was low vitamin D level combined with musculoskeletal symptoms but without the presence of osteomalacia.
All patients in this study were suspected to have vitamin D deficiency.
The data were retrieved from the case-charts of patients seen between 1996 and 2001 at the rheumatology services of Hinduja Hospital, Mumbai, India.
This study found no correlation between Vitamin D levels and symptoms, or between the severity of Vitamin D deficiency and the number of symptoms displayed.
Subclinical vitamin D deficiency or preosteomalacic state was the term coined for individuals with vitamin D deficiency producing nonspecific musculoskeletal symptoms in the absence of clinical osteomalacia.
