Prevalence and risk factors for vitamin D deficiency in long‐term childhood cancer survivors

Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) have increased risk of developing chronic health conditions, including musculoskeletal disorders. Little is known regarding vitamin D deficiency (VDD, <20 ng/ml) and its association with bone mineral density (BMD) in long‐term CCS. We evaluated the prevalence and risk factors for VDD in a large, diverse population of long‐term CCS, and examined the association between VDD and BMD in patients who underwent guideline‐recommended dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) screening.
