Abstract
Symptomatic vitamin D deficiency has become increasingly prevalent particularly among the Somali immigrant group living in the Twin Cities Area. Serum vitamin D level should be assessed and the diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency should be considered when dealing with adult Somali females presenting with symptoms of chronic musculoskeletal pain. Additionally, physicians should also consider nutritional screening and provide nutritional guidance or supplementation of vitamin D in asymptomatic patients.
