Overview
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) classified vitamin D deficiency into two groups of deficient and inadequate based on serum 25(OH)D level. Australian Family Physician classified vitamin D deficiency into three groups of mild, moderate and severe. It may be classified into two main groups of acquired or inherited based on the etiology.
Classification
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) classified vitamin D deficiency into two groups of deficient and inadequate based on serum 25(OH)D level. [1]
nmol/L** | ng/mL* | Health status |
---|---|---|
<30 | <12 | Associated with vitamin D deficiency, leading to rickets in infants and children and osteomalacia in adults |
30 to <50 | 12 to <20 | Generally considered inadequate for bone and overall health in healthy individuals |
≥50 | ≥20 | Generally considered adequate for bone and overall health in healthy individuals |
Australian Family Physician classified vitamin D deficiency into three groups based on serum level of 25(OH)D. [3]
nmol/L** | Level of deficiency |
<12.5 | Severe |
12.5–29 | Moderate |
30–50 | Mild |
Vitamin D deficiency may be classified into two main groups of acquired or inherited based on the etiology.
