Is this D vitamin to worry about? Vitamin D insufficiency in an inpatient sample.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between reduced serum vitamin D levels and psychiatric illness. ⋯ Low levels of serum 25-OHD were found in this patient population. These data add to the literature suggesting an association between vitamin D insufficiency and psychiatric illness, and suggest that routine monitoring of vitamin D levels may be of benefit given the high yield of clinically relevant findings.
