What is it about?
The study explains the comparison between serum levels of vitamin D, VDBP, calcium, phosphate along with biophysical parameters in normal, postmenopausal osteopenic and osteoporotic women.

Why is it important?
Serum levels of vitamin D and VDBP were lower in osteopenic and osteoporotic post-menopausal women as compared to the normal females who reflected normal bone architecture as evidenced by normal BMD. Vitamin D and VDBP are thus important for incremental increase in BMD, furthermore recommend that VDBP may be used as a valuable tool to identify the risk of osteoporotic fractures associated with decline in BMD especially in postmenopausal women.
Perspectives
This article would have an impact on understanding of role of viamin D and its binding protein as a valuable parameter for identification of risks of osteoporotic fractures in post meopausal women.
