• Prevalence and predictors of Vitamin D inadequacy 

The incidence of vitamin D deficiency has been found to be surprisingly high in young individuals and in osteoporotic women:

Age: 30 – 50 years, vitamin D < 12 ng/ml percent prevalence:  83.9% women*

Age: 50 – 87 years, vitamin D < 30 ng/ml percent prevalence:  84.9% women**

• Calcium: a key nutrient for good bone health

Calcium, together with vitamin D, protein and other nutrients helps adults maintain healthy bones and avoid premature bone loss, and seniors to sustain mobility and independence.

• Results from the IOF^¥ calcium calculator: 

Of 6908 people who calculated their daily calcium intake, 89 % were calcium deficient consuming an average of 594 mcg /day
