Vitamin D is one of the key regulators of calcium and phosphorus homeostasis and plays an important role in bone tissue formation, as well as in the functioning of the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems. Under modern conditions, vitamin D deficiency has acquired a global character and is observed not only among individuals with chronic diseases but also among clinically healthy populations, particularly children and young adults. Limited insolation, lifestyle changes, dietary disorders, obesity, as well as diseases of the gastrointestinal tract contribute significantly to reduced vitamin D levels. Numerous scientific studies confirm the association between vitamin D deficiency and the development of rickets, osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular, oncological, and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as an increased risk of infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Timely diagnosis and adequate prevention of vitamin D deficiency are essential components of public health preservation and reduction of disease incidence. Thus, studying the role of vitamin D and substantiating the need for its monitoring and correction remains a relevant direction of modern medicine.
