The extent of this increase in risk has been incompletely documented in the literature, and the underlying reasons remain to be elucidated.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods\u2003<\/jats:bold> The aims of our study were to document the vitamin D status and fracture incidence in an intellectually disabled population, to test for associations between vitamin D status and possible risk factors for reduced vitamin D levels, and to determine the efficacy of oral vitamin D supplementation in restoring appropriate vitamin D levels in those found to be vitamin D insufficient. A 5\u2010year retrospective audit of fractures in 337 individuals with ID receiving health care at a residential facility was performed. Data analysed included age, gender, mobility, dietary status, incident fractures, medications and 25\u2010hydroxyvitamin D levels. Vitamin D insufficient individuals received oral vitamin D supplementation, and had repeat testing to assess treatment efficacy.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2003<\/jats:bold> In total, 57% of individuals tested were found to be vitamin D insufficient. Vitamin D insufficiency was strongly correlated with reduced mobility (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.001) and difficulty with consuming solids (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.001). However, the correlation between vitamin D levels and fractures was not significant (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003= 0.3). Oral vitamin D supplementation using cholecalciferol (vitamin D<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>) 100\u2003000\u2003IU every 4\u2003months was effective in correcting vitamin D insufficiency. Sixty\u2010eight fractures occurred over the study period in 52 individuals, a rate of 1 fracture every 23.8 person years. A total of 55% of these fractures involved the extremities. Fractures were more common in men than in women. Peripheral fractures (hand, foot, wrist, ankle) accounted for 54% of all fractures, and were particularly prevalent in the most mobile individuals.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2003<\/jats:bold> Fractures and vitamin D insufficiency are relatively common in people with ID. This study did not find a significant association between vitamin D insufficiency and fractures in the study population. Oral vitamin D supplementation is effective in restoring normal vitamin D levels, and should be considered routinely for those at the highest risk.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2788.2006.00841.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,16]],"date-time":"2006-06-16T08:12:11Z","timestamp":1150445531000},"page":"761-767","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Vitamin D and fractures in people with intellectual disability"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"Vanlint","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Nugent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa022464"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1172\/JCI0214588"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsbmb.2004.03.073"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000245553"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.1999.tb03843.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s001980170012"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2788.1995.tb00481.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1352\/0895-8017(1998)103<0019:PWMRHA>2.0.CO;2"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"49","DOI":"10.1123\/apaq.18.1.49","article-title":"Bone mineral density status of women with intellectual disability","volume":"18","author":"Foster B.","year":"2001","journal-title":"Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00198-004-1708-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2788.1998.4260505.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2788.1998.00156.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00198-004-1702-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsbmb.2004.03.040"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2788.1995.tb00573.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_17_1","first-page":"S19","article-title":"Vitamin D: new insights into an old secosteroid","volume":"14","author":"Mason R.
