Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent today not only among the elderly
but pervasively throughout all ages of life.This is due, in part,
to systemic diseases that affect vitamin D metabolism, to changes
in lifestyle, such as insufficient exposure to sunlight, and to
increased use of sunscreen. Apart from the obvious effects of
vitamin D deficiency on skeletal metabolism, the problem is
assuming even greater significance because observational and
interventional studies have linked vitamin D deficiency to
cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes. This book addresses a
variety of important issues that have emerged from this fast-moving
area of clinical medicine. The topics include assays of vitamin D
and its binding protein, effects on aging and associated
complications, primary and secondary states of altered parathyroid
hormone secretion, vitamin D in the growing years of children and
adolescents, nutritional requirements, and vitamin D as it relates
to systemic disorders such as diabetes mellitus. Vitamin D in
Clinical Medicine aims to offer new insights, in an evidence-based
way, on important issues related to vitamin D. It is written for
general practitioners and internists, as well as for
endocrinologists, nutritionists, pulmonologists, cardiologists, and
oncologists.
