Increased intake or supplementation of vitamin D is often recommended for normal bone health; however, its preventive effect on osteoporosis has not been fully evaluated. The aim of this review is to gather evidence of the efficacy of the optimization of vitamin D nutrition in preventing osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures. PubMed was used for searching the relevant literature using the MeSH terms “Bone Density (limited to “human”, “female”, and “English” literature)” or “Fractures (limited to “human”, “age ≥45 years”, and “English” literature)”, and “Vitamin D”. The searches yielded 19 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), nine cohort studies, 19 case-control studies, 19 cross-sectional studies, and one meta-analysis. We attempted to answer three questions: 1) does increased vitamin D intake prevent bone loss in peri- and postmenopausal women?, 2) does increased vitamin D intake prevent osteoporotic fractures in the elderly?, and 3) does increased vitamin D intake positively affect peak bone mass attainment in young women? The answer to questions 1 and 2 is that a vitamin D intake of 10–17.5 μg/day (400–700 IU/day) or more is effective in preventing bone loss in late postmenopausal women and an intake of 17.5–20 μg/day (700–800 IU/day) or more together with a calcium supplement reduces the risk of osteoporotic fractures. For question 3, some lines of evidence support the negative effect of low vitamin D nutrition on the attainment of peak bone mass in young women. Further studies are needed to clarify the effect of vitamin D in this age group.<br>
