  • In a recent correlation study, people that suffer from ankle and foot injuries are more likely to also be deficient in vitamin D. This correlation between vitamin D deficiency and risk for foot and ankle injuries might serve to offer some dietary advice to athletes, the elderly, and others who are at higher risk of bone damage.

  • Therefore the elderly, athletes in high-impact sports, and people already suffering from ankle and foot injuries might be advised to increase the levels of vitamin D in their diets. (guardianlv.com)
