Background Excessive intakes of vitamin A have been shown to have adverse skeletal
effects in animals. High vitamin A intake may lead to an increased risk of fracture in humans …

Excessive intake of vitamin A is postulated to have a detrimental effect on bone by inducing
osteoporosis. This may lead to an increased risk of fracture, particularly in persons who are …

Background: Recent observational studies suggest that preformed vitamin A (VA) intakes of
