WHAT IS VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY, WHAT ARE ITS SYMPTOMS AND CAUSES?
WHAT IS VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY?
Vitamin D deficiency means you are not getting enough vitamin D to stay healthy.
D vitamini eksikliği çok yaygındır. Dünya çapında yaklaşık 1 milyar insanın bu vitaminin kan düzeylerinin düşük olduğu tahmin edilmektedir.
Normal alımlar zamanla önerilen seviyelerden daha düşük olduğunda, güneş ışığına maruz kalma sınırlı olduğunda, böbrekler 25(OH)D’yi aktif formuna dönüştüremediğinde veya D vitamininin sindirim sisteminden emilimi yetersiz olduğunda insanlarda D vitamini eksikliği gelişebilir. D vitamini açısından düşük diyetler, süt alerjisi veya laktoz intoleransı olan kişilerde ve ovo-vejetaryen veya vegan diyeti tüketenlerde daha yaygındır. Bu noktada düzenli olarak D vitamini içeren besinler tüketmek önemli bir destek sağlar.
The best indicator of the body's vitamin D level is 25(OH)D (calcidiol) stored in the liver.
In recent years, the lower level has been accepted as 20-30ng/mL. These levels may protect against bone diseases, but unfortunately not against many non-bone diseases related to vitamin D.
WHAT SHOULD THE LEVEL OF VITAMIN D BE?
The level of vitamin D in the blood is measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml). According to many studies, the average accepted levels of vitamin D in the blood and the results are as follows.
Severe vitamin D deficiency (rickets, osteomalacia).......<20 ng/ml
Marginal vitamin D deficiency.........21-29 ng/ml
Latent vitamin D deficiency............... 30-50 ng/ml
Normal ........................... .................... 52-100 ng/ml
