Abstract
Vitamin D is an essential fat-soluble vitamin for humans and vitamin D deficiency (VDD) affects all age groups, with older adults being at high risk of VDD. A deficiency in Vitamin D has been associated with a range of health concerns in older adults, including osteomalacia and osteoporosis. Additionally, there is limited evidence suggesting that VDD may be associated with an increased risk of developing cognitive impairment, muscle wasting disorders, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and mortality. This review synthesizes the latest research advances in China and abroad to provide detailed information on the current status of vitamin D nutritional monitoring, causes of deficiency, health risks, and proposed intake for reducing the risk of diet-related non-communicable diseases (PI-NCD) in the Chinese older adults.
