Tiivistelmä
Conclusions: Vitamin D status of elderly Finnish women is suboptimal if 25(OH)D-3 levels of 50 or 75 nmol/l are used as a threshold. It is moderately increased by supplement intake and summer sunshine. However, 25(OH)D-3 concentrations did not influence bone density in terms of serum PINP and bone turnover rate.
