Hypovitaminosis D in Postmenopause
Hypovitaminosis D in Postmenopause
Hypovitaminosis D is a common health problem in postmenopausal women that predisposes to the development of various conditions, such as difficult-to-manage osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, autoimmune diseases and cancer. In the last two decades, the extensive role of vitamin D has been characterized, where besides controlling bone mineral metabolism, it also precisely regulates the immune system and metabolism. Early detection of hypovitaminosis D can help provide timely care to improve the health of postmenopausal women. This chapter aims to discuss the most relevant aspects of vitamin D in postmenopausal women and the probable consequences that it has on the development of pathological processes characteristic of this stage.
