Abstract
Background: 1 in 5 people are vitamin D deficient in the UK[1]. It is a global public health issue that is over-looked and under-managed. Rickets and osteomalacia are classic manifestations of vitamin D deficiency. Recent studies have shown an association between vitamin D deficiency and fatal non-musculoskeletal conditions, including cancer[2]. Vitamin D status is determined by assay of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 25(OH)D. Serum level <30nmol/L denotes deficiency, whereas 30-50nmol/L, with risk factors outlined by the Royal Osteoporosis Society (ROS) indicates insufficiency[2].
