What is vitamin D deficiency?
Vitamin D deficiency means that you do not have enough vitamin D in your body. Vitamin D is unique because your skin actually produces it by using sunlight. Fair-skinned individuals and those who are younger convert sunshine into vitamin D far better than those who are darker-skinned and over age 50.
What causes vitamin D deficiency?
• You don’t get enough vitamin D in your diet.
• You don’t absorb enough vitamin D from food.
• You don’t get enough exposure to sunlight.
• Your liver or kidneys cannot convert vitamin D to its active form in the body.
Who is at risk of vitamin D deficiency?
• Older adults, because your skin doesn’t make vitamin D when exposed to sunlight as efficiently as when you were young, and your kidneys are less able to convert vitamin D to its active form.
• People with dark skin, which has less ability to produce vitamin D from the sun.
• People with disorders such as celiac disease who don’t handle fat properly, because vitamin D needs fat to be absorbed.
• People who have obesity, because their body fat binds to some vitamin D and prevents it from getting into the blood.
• People who have had gastric bypass surgery
• People with chronic kidney or liver disease.
• People with some lymphomas, a type of cancer.
Talk with your health care provider if you are at risk for vitamin D deficiency. There is a blood test that can measure how much vitamin D is in your body.
