Are long-lasting nonspecific symptoms related to vitamin D deficiency among older adults living in nursing homes?
Nonspecific symptoms persisting ≥ 3 months and vitamin D deficiency were common among older adults living in nursing homes. However, there was no association between these long-lasting nonspecific symptoms and the concentration of vitamin D. In further research it is important to study other potential causes of nonspecific symptoms in older adults.
