    Author: Vir SC, Love AH.
    Journal: Int J Vitam Nutr Res; 1978; 48(2):123-30. PubMed ID: 689806.
    Abstract:
    In a study of institutionalised and non-institutionalised aged requiring medical care, the biochemical deficiency of vitamin D was noted in over 40 per cent of the subjects, while osteomalacia was diagnosed biochemically in only 5.2 per cent. The vitamin D status demonstrated no relationship to bone density.
