A member asked:

Can you please lay out the issues if a person is diagnosed with vitamin d deficiency and is 29 yrs old ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bone density: Vitamin d can be ingested (in milk/ supplements) and can be created in your skin via sun exposure. The latter is becoming less common as most of us use sunscreen! vit d plays a vital role in bone density and woman are at increased risk for osteoporosis. Peak bone density is at age 35. Got milk? Increase milk intake, use supplements as necessary, and increase weight bearing exercise to build bone.
