Prediction of vitamin D deficiency by simple patient characteristics

Background: Vitamin D status is currently diagnosed by measuring serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D].Objective: This study aimed to develop a risk profile that can be used to easily identify older individuals at high risk of vitamin D deficiency.Design: This study was performed within the Longitudin...

Zusammenfassung:Background: Vitamin D status is currently diagnosed by measuring serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D].Objective: This study aimed to develop a risk profile that can be used to easily identify older individuals at high risk of vitamin D deficiency.Design: This study was performed within the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam, an ongoing cohort study in a representative sample of the Dutch older population (n = 1509 for the development sample and n = 1100 for the validation sample).
