Only test vitamin D status if someone has symptoms of deficiency or is at very high risk
Health professionals should not routinely test people's vitamin D status unless:
• they have symptoms of deficiency
• they are considered to be at particularly high risk of deficiency (for example, they have very low exposure to sunlight)
• there is a clinical reason to do so (for example, they have osteomalacia or have had a fall).
