Deficiency of Vitamin D is defined as a 25 (OH) D blood level less than 10 (mg/mL). Vitamin D insufficiency is defined as 25 (OH) D blood levels between 10 and 20 mg/mL.

1. Calcium and Vitamin D:
Older adults need more vitamin D and calcium to help maintain strong and healthy bones. The FDA’s current recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin D for adults over 70 years old is 600 to 800 IU (International Unit) per day, and 400 IU per day for people over 50. But many experts in the field suggest that current recommendations may not be enough for older adults to maintain optimal health, the amount should be doubled.
