Vitamin D is a secosteroid, fat-soluble vitamin and a hormone
precursor that plays an important role in bone metabolism and has
certain anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties as well.
It appears to have an effect on numerous diseases and disorders,
including osteoporosis, chronic musculoskeletal pain, diabetes,
multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular disease and cancers of the
breast, prostate and colon. Although it is a well-known fact that
combination of vitamin D and calcium is necessary to maintain bone
density as people age, vitamin D may also be an independent risk
factor for falls among the elderly. This book introduces the
importance of vitamin D and its overall deficiency in human life.
The book contains nine chapters and a commentary in which the
authors try to summarize some of the most interesting and important
subjects in which vitamin D plays a major role.
