Drug therapy and lifestyle changes help to normalize the situation.

Epidemiological studies have recognized a potentially increased risk of breast cancer among women with vitamin D deficiency.
The Mediterranean diet, which consists of fish, vegetables, fruit, legumes and vegetable oil, is associated with a 46% lower risk of breast cancer.
