high risk for fractures.To determine the factors associated with low vitamin D intake we ran a multivariable logistic regression analysis.We described the public general interest in the term "vitamin D" using the Google Trends tool.Results: 12,419 women were included in the study.6,748 (54.4%) individuals had a prevalent fragility fracture and 8,950 (72.1%) individuals were on b800 IU of vitamin D per day and 11,434 (92.1%) were taking b1,200 IU of vitamin D per day.The factors associated with vitamin D intake were evaluated with a multivariable logistic regression analysis, which results are presented in Table 1.We found that low BMD levels, the presence of associated comorbidities and glucocorticoid utilization were associated with greater vitamin D intake.Overall, the internet interest in vitamin D was higher during the winter season (Figure 1).Conclusion(s): Low vitamin D intake (b800 IU day) was common in our cohort of women at high risk for fractures.The factors associated with greater vitamin D intake were: having low BMD levels, associated rheumatic diseases and glucocorticoid use.Falls were associated with lower risk of receiving very low dose of vitamin D (b250 IU day).Smoking status was associated with lower vitamin D intake.
