Figure 1. Mean 25-hydroxyvitamin D value (ng/mL) (±5% error) across demographic, discharge, and fracture groups. All means to the left of the first gray line labeled “Deficiency” indicate vitamin D deficiency (25-hydroxyvitamin D <20 ng/mL). All means to the left of the second gray line labeled “Insufficiency” indicate vitamin D insufficiency (25-hydroxyvitamin D <30 ng/mL).
