Vitamin D deficiency (also known as hypovitaminosis D) is common, and untreated, may result in serious sequelae. Traditionally its pathological manifestations have been regarded through the lens of skeletal maturity:
- rickets in children
- osteomalacia in adults
However it has become increasingly clear that a deficiency of vitamin D has broader implications than solely abnormalities of the musculoskeletal system.
