  • Title: 25-hydroxy-vitamin D, diet and sunlight exposure in patients admitted to a geriatric unit.
    Author: Nayal AS, MacLennan WJ, Hamilton JC, Rose P, Kong M.
    Journal: Gerontology; 1978; 24(2):117-22. PubMed ID: 618770.
    Abstract:
    Dietary intake, sunlight exposure and 25-hydroxy-vitamin D levels were estimated in 62 patients admitted to a geriatric assessment unit. There was a significant correlation between vitamin D intake and 25-hydroxy-vitamin D levels but none between sunlight exposure and these. This suggests that in old age dietary deficiency may be a more important cause of metabolic bone disease than limited sunlight exposure.
