Vitamin D is known to be widely deficient in Western populations. The implications of this in terms of bone health are increasingly understood, yet its impact on other health areas, particularly mental health, is unclear. Recent data suggests that hypovitaminosis D may be common, especially in the elderly. Other studies have suggested that low levels of vitamin D are associated with poor mood. There are a number of trials that have suggested a role for Vitamin D in the supplementary treatment of depression. Dose may be a critical issue, as sun exposure and dietary intake may be low and high doses may be required.
众所周知，维生素D在西方人群中普遍缺乏。人们越来越了解这对骨骼健康的影响，但其对其他健康领域，尤其是心理健康的影响尚不清楚。最近的数据表明，维生素D缺乏症可能很常见，尤其是在老年人中。其他研究表明，维生素D水平低与情绪不佳有关。有多项试验表明维生素D在抑郁症的辅助治疗中发挥作用。剂量可能是一个关键问题，因为阳光照射和饮食摄入可能较低，可能需要高剂量。
