Vitamin D deficiency in women is a pervasive health concern prevalent among women with far-reaching implications for overall well-being. The present article provides a concise overview of the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among women and its association with lifestyle factors. Factors contributing to its prevalence include limited sun exposure, dietary choices, and hormonal changes associated with pregnancy and menopause. According to available data from various research papers, the Present article explores the extent of deficiency in various regions and age groups, underlining the necessity for targeted interventions. Lifestyle plays a pivotal role in vitamin D status for women. Inadequate sun exposure, stemming from indoor occupations and cultural practices, remains a primary contributor. Dietary preferences, often lacking in calcium-rich foods, further exacerbate the problem. Lifestyle-related factors like obesity can compromise vitamin D bioavailability. Vitamin D deficiency in women is associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, and mood disorders. Promoting lifestyle modifications, including sun exposure, dietary improvements, and supplementation, is essential in addressing this concern. Awareness campaigns and tailored strategies are pivotal in the prevention and management of vitamin D deficiency.
