Vitamin D deficiency may lead to more pain following total knee replacement
According to the study, published in
Menopause, the journal of
The North American Menopause Society (NAMS), vitamin D plays a role in the degree of postoperative pain postmenopausal women experience after undergoing total knee replacement.
During perimenopause, the ovaries make less estrogen. This could result in estrogen deficiency, which along with inactivity and a lack of sun exposure, have been linked to vitamin D deficiency in this age group.
“Estrogen deficiency in perimenopausal women is associated with decreased levels of vitamin D. In addition, low dietary intake of vitamin D, impaired skin synthesis of vitamin D, a sedentary lifestyle that reduces sunlight exposures and decreased hydroxylation of the liver and kidneys also contribute to vitamin D deficiency in perimenopausal women,” the authors noted.
Vitamin D may play a role in the degree of pain after knee replacement in postmenopausal women
Vitamin D is a critical part of a healthy diet. Among other benefits, it has been shown to protect against bone disease and maintain soft tissue health.

Study results are published online today in
Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS).
Vitamin D deficiency is a major issue globally. It is estimated that 60% of adults have insufficient levels of the bone-building vitamin. Estrogen deficiency in perimenopausal women has been associated with decreased levels of vitamin D. A sedentary lifestyle and lack of sun exposure have also been shown to contribute to vitamin D deficiency in perimenopausal women.
