A D-vitamin anyagcseréje egyedülálló az emberi szervezetben. Hatása szerteágazó, szinte minden szervrendszerben érvényesül. Hiánya az egyik legnagyobb egészségügyi probléma a civilizált világban. A probléma megoldása széles körű összefogást sürget. Ezt felismerve, a D-vitamin-hiány következményeivel küzdő legnagyobb magyarországi orvostársaságok közös konszenzust dolgoztak ki a D-vitamin-hiány jelentőségéről, felismerési lehetőségeiről, a prevenció és a kezelés javasolt módjairól. A társaságok szakmai irányelvei mellett ennek a konszenzusnak az eredménye iránymutatást ad a gyakorló orvosoknak a D-vitamin-hiány megelőzéséhez és kezeléséhez. Emellett szeretné ráirányítani a szakmai döntéshozók és a laikus közönség figyelmét a probléma fontosságára.
