This information is a portion from a study investigating the effects of vitamin D intake and the occurrence of stress fractures during a 7 year follow-up period. (K.R. Sonneville, Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, DOI: 1001/archpediatrics.2012.5, 2012).
Girls with a vitamin D intake of 107 iu daily were 50% more likely to suffer from stress fractures than girls with an intake of 663 iu daily - and this difference was most significant for girls who were participating in at least 1 hour per day of high impact sports.
Many people think the role of vitamin D is mainly for preventing osteoporosis in the elderly. However it is for everyone in supporting bone health and this study reminds us of just that.
It's about prevention. Just like you maintain your vehicle, you need to maintain your health.
