Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vitamin D helps regulate calcium levels in the body. A deficiency in vitamin D can lead to a decrease in calcium absorption and an increase in parathyroid hormone levels which can lead to a condition called secondary hyperparathyroidism. This can eventually lead to bone loss and an increased risk of fractures.
