Vitamin D deficiency seriously affect calcium absorption it can lead to osteoporosis,

Long term use of corticosteroid also affect absorption and metabolism of vitamin D and calcium, its can causes osteoporosis.

Age above 50 years simoniacally increases the risk of osteoporosis due to weaker bone and loss of bone density.
