Long-term vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of fractures and osteoporosis in adults, Olga Ulankina, a doctor and expert at the "Hemotest" laboratory, told NEWS.ru.
据他介绍，这个问题也增加了老年人因协调性下降而摔倒的可能性。
维生素D的主要功能与钙的吸收和维持骨骼强度有关。如果身体长期缺乏这种元素，骨质密度就会逐渐降低。 In adults, this increases the risk of osteoporosis and fractures, and in the elderly, the likelihood of falling due to decreased muscle strength and coordination.
医生解释说，长期缺乏维生素D也会导致免疫系统出现问题。据他介绍，这种元素含量低与感染易感性增加之间存在直接联系。
“Long-term vitamin D deficiency can also affect a person's immune system. Some studies associate low levels of this element with increased susceptibility to infections and chronic inflammatory processes. In addition, its possible effects on the cardiovascular system and metabolism are discussed. The difficulty is that the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency are non-specific. Drowsiness, weakness, and decreased energy can also occur in other diseases, such as anemia, chronic stress, or thyroid dysfunction," concluded Ulankina.
