Vitamin D Deficiency Specialists in Patel Nagar Delhi, Delhi

Causes of Vitamin D Deficiency

Primarily caused by inadequate sun exposure due to indoor lifestyles, use of sunscreen, darker skin pigmentation that reduces vitamin D synthesis, and clothing that covers most of the skin. Dietary intake is often insufficient since few common foods naturally contain significant vitamin D. Malabsorption conditions, obesity, chronic kidney or liver disease, and certain medications can also impair vitamin D metabolism and increase deficiency risk.
