Detailed description
Vitamin D insufficiency is common in many countries. Vitamin D insufficiency is associated with osteoporosis and the responses to osteoporosis treatment. 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) is considered to be the best estimate of body stores of vitamin D and the seasonal variation of 25OHD is well known. But there are few reports concerning to the seasonal variation of osteoporosis treatment. In this study, we plan to compare clinical efficacy and safety by seasons in patients treated by raloxifene.
