A member asked:
I am vitamin d deficient and i was wondering if you can get a fracture due to low vitamin d?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Vitamin d is partly responsible for absorbing calcium from your diet. Without calcium you could develop osteopenia or osteoporosis making you more susceptible for a fracture. See your medical doctor to make sure your taking appropriate levels of vitamin d.
