The relationship between serum 25‐hydroxy vitamin <scp>D</scp>, parathormone and bone mineral density in <scp>I</scp>ndian population

Abstract

Less than half of the subjects with VDD have SHPT. BMD levels start to decline at PTH values currently considered to be normal. These data suggest the need to redefine SHPT in different age groups keeping in mind the relationship between PTH and BMD. This may also influence the decision to supplement subjects with VDD.
