What is Vitamin D?
Fat-soluble vitamin and serves as a hormone
in the body.1
The only vitamin human body makes itself.
Vitamin D is naturally present in few
selective foods, such as oily fish & in very
low amount in cow's milk.
Types of Vitamin D
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)
Preferred form of supplementation
Produced in skin with direct sunlight
Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol)
Found in plants
Made by UVB radiation of ergosterol
Vitamin D Metabolism
(Animals, Supplements)
(Plants)
(Calcitriol: Active form of Vit D)
J Am Coll Cardiol. 2008;52:1949–1956.
Osteoporos Int. 2010 Jul;21(7):1151-4.
Vitamin D Status
Vitamin D insufficiency, 25(OH)D levels <30ng/ml is
prevalent, worldwide, especially in Middle East and South
Asia.2
Vitamin D Deficiency is Common
Even in Sunny India
More than 80 % of adult Indians not getting
Enough Vitamin D

Major action of Vitamin D on
Various Organs
Organ Actions
Bone
Promotes osteoblastic activity (improves bone
mineralization)
Regulates osteoclastic activity. (reduces bone resorption)
Parathyroid glands
Inhibits parathyroid hormone secretion (Improves bone
mineralization)
Kidneys Enhances Ca reabsorption
Intestine Enhances Ca and phosphate transport (absorption)
Muscles Strengthens muscles (Increases De Novo Protein Synthesis)
Boosts immunity
Decreases risk of recurrent infections.
Immune system
Osteoblast & Osteoclast
Osteoblasts
Cells responsible for
synthesis & mineralization of
bone.
Osteoclasts
Cells responsible for
dissolution of bone. Cause
bone resorption.

Osteomalacia Osteoporosis
Physiology Abnormal bone building Degeneration of built bone
Occurrence Adults Elderly
Symptoms Muscle Weakness
Bone Weakness & Pain
Frequent fractures
Loss on height (due to compression of spine
Complications Bone softening
Bone bending
Results in bone fragility & fractures
Prognosis Can be prevented by Ca & Vitamin D
supplements
Cannot be prevented. Can only be treated
Outcome Osteoporosis Fractures
Osteomalacia Vs. Osteoporosis
Osteomalacia
Softening of bones due to insufficient vitamin D, or problems
with metabolism of this vitamin.
Osteomalacia in children is known as Rickets
Signs & Symptoms
• Bone Weakness
• Bone Pain
• Muscle Weakness
Rickets
Prevalence of Vitamin D Induced
Osteomalcia & Rickets in India
Osteomalacia & Rickets are the most common disorders due to
Vitamin D Deficiency in India
Osteomalacia present in 35.3% adults with Vitamin D
deficiency1
Rickets present in 30.3 % Indian infants with 25(OH)D
<10ng/ml.2

Osteoporosis
Weakening of Bones
In osteoporosis, bones become weak, fragile and brittle due to
loss of minerals like calcium
They get fractured more easily than normal bone.
1 out of 8 males & 1 out of 3 females in India suffer from
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis
Normal Bone
Osteoporosis Society of India New Delhi
Osteoporosis
Osteomalacia
93 % of all patients
With Musculoskeletal
Disorders,
suffering from persistence pain,
were Vit D deficient
Low back pain
83% patients < 22.5ng/ml
Osteoarthritis knee
48% patients < 30 ng/ml
Spondolysis
Joint Pain
94% patients with
vit D <15 ng/ml
Muscle Weakness
94% patients with
Vit D < 15ng/ml
Vitamin D deficiency also affects Musculoskeletal
health…
Over 90% of Fractures occur after fall and fall rate increases
due to poor muscle strength and function.1
Adequate dose of Vitamin D found to be useful in
reduction of persistent non specific pain & Fractures
Ca & Vitamin D Deficiency Causes Fractures
Osteoporosis
Increases risk &
Rate of Fall
