- Deficiency in Vitamin D is common due to lack of sun exposure and insufficient dietary intake.
- Long-term Vitamin D deficit can lead to reduced bone density, increased fracture risk, and rickets in children.

- Adequate Vitamin D status is linked to a lower risk of infections, especially respiratory ones.
- Vitamin D deficiency can manifest as muscle weakness, pain, and increased fall risk, particularly in the elderly.
- Low Vitamin D levels are also associated with chronic fatigue and reduced physical endurance.
