Excerpt

Despite the availability of effective treatments, a substantial proportion of osteoporotic patients still do not receive specific treatment for osteoporosis post fracture. In addition, the failure or inadequate supplementation with vitamin D in these patients elevates the risk of re-fracture and mortality [1]. The measurement of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) is used in clinical practice to assess the so-called vitamin D status, and the 25(OH)D form is relatively stable in serum with a half-life of 2–3 weeks [2]. …
