Increasing evidence suggests that Parkinson disease (PD) should be included on the growing list of diseases associated with vitamin D insufficiency. A recent study reconfirms this association and supports the monitoring of vitamin D concentrations in patients with PD. The conundrum of causality regarding this association, however, remains unanswered.
