Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in postmenopausal high- and low-energy fracture patient

Archives of Osteoporosis Oct 14, 2018

Lee JS, et al. - In postmenopausal women, researchers assessed the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in fractures from low-energy vs high-energy injuries. They also determined differences in the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and the rate of postoperative vitamin D supplementation between the two groups. They reviewed the medical records of postmenopausal women aged ≥ 50 years who presented with fractures. As per data, a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was seen in women with fractures, regardless of whether they were high- or low-energy injuries. Nonetheless, compared to the low-energy injury group, the prescription rate of vitamin D supplementation was lower in the high-energy group.
