Vitamin D Levels and Vitamin D Education in Geriatric Patients
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Vitamin D Insufficiency, Vitamin D Deficiency
In brief
Vitamin D is important to maintain good health. Although it is found in foods and vitamins, many people still have low vitamin D levels. One purpose of this study is to describe vitamin D levels from patients at the University of Colorado Seniors Clinic. Another goal of the study is to find out if education by a pharmacist can increase vitamin D levels in patients who have low vitamin D levels.
