Position Statement On The Role Of Vitamin D In Postmenopausal Women Published In Maturitas

Shaky position?

See post above.

Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, has announced the publication of a position statement by the European Menopause and Andropause Society (EMAS) in journal Maturitas on the role of vitamin D in postmenopausal women with summary recommendations.

Vitamin D deficiency is common and may affect up to 70% of Europeans. It is classified as a public health issue as it can contribute to many diseases, especially osteoporosis. EMAS has risen to the challenge of increasing awareness of vitamin D deficiency to women and health professionals. The position statement describes the implications of vitamin D deficiency and provides clear recommendations on why and how adequate levels should be maintained.

So how do they know it is low without a reliable standard to ensure accurate test results?

And BTW, there is little relationship between Vitamin D and osteoporosis.

All the Vitamin D in the world will not fix osteoporosis.

The Vitamin D - osteoporosis connection is largely a myth.
