Low Vitamin D Levels Associated With Chronic Pain In Women

"Low vitamin D levels may contribute to chronic pain among women, suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.

But by way of possible explanations, the authors point to osteomalacia, a disease of extreme vitamin D deficiency, which is associated with isolated or generalised bone pain. The hormonally active form of vitamin D is also involved in the regulation of immune system responses.

Around one in 10 of the population suffers from chronic widespread pain at any one time, say the authors."
