    Abstract

    The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of vitamin D sufficiency and deficiency in a HIV-infected cohort of African-American men with that of a general population. We found median vitamin D concentrations were significantly greater in the HIV-infected cohort, 18 ng/ml as compared to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cohort, 14 ng/ml (P ≤ 0.0001). Thus, factors other than measured vitamin D are likely to be responsible for higher rates of bone disease in this population.
