Association of vitamin D deficiency with muscle strength and quality of life in postmenopausal women

Abstract: Vitamin D deficiency is not related to decreased muscle strength and lowered quality of life in postmenopausal women. Other factors rather than vitamin D deficiency should be investigated for illuminating the causalities of these two common clinical conditions.

“…Flow chart of the study compared with controls. Such observations agree with other researchers [19], who reported that vitamin d deficiency was frequently encountered clinically in postmenopausal women and was linked to reduced intensity and duration of exposure to ultraviolet in 80-90% and to low dietary vitamin d intake in 10-20%. Each of these two sources may provide sufficient supply, but if one of them is lost, the other source can easily become insufficient.…”

“…The relationship between serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D [25(OH)D 3 ] levels and muscle strength has been extensively investigated, even though there is no agreement in literature [13], given several studies supporting it [14][15][16][17][18] and others denying this association [19,20]. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge there is only a study that investigated the association between serum 25(OH)D 3 levels and physical performance, involving both upper and lower extremities, in older adults [18].…”
