Serum 25-OHD insufficiency as a risk factor for hip fracture

Mayumi Sakuma et al. J Bone Miner Metab. 2007.

Abstract

The aging population and an increasing number of hip fractures worldwide have made prevention of hip fractures a matter of importance. The prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in patients with acute hip fracture has been reported widely in recent years, and the vitamin D nutritional status in such reports is usually evaluated based on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD). The aim of this article is to review the relationship of serum 25-OHD and osteoporotic fracture and the prevalence of 25-OHD insufficiency in patients with hip fracture, including assessment of nutritional status, oral status, activity, and dementia. We conclude that the serum 25-OHD level may be a useful index for risk of hip fracture in elderly people.
