“…The global prevalence of vitamin D deficit in the group aged between 5 and 10 is significant (56.4%) and reaches 68% in the group aged between 10 and 15 years of age, in line with previously published data, which varies depending on the study in question [ 13 – 15 ].…”

ObjectiveVitamin D deficiency is a public health problem that occurs more frequently than expected. The aim of this study is to evaluate the vitamin D levels of children attending the paediatrics unit of the Bertamiráns primary care centre (A Coruña NW Spain). This is an observational study carried out during 1 year on a random sample of the pediatric population aged between 5 and 15 years. The levels of vitamin D (25(OH)D) were determined by immunoassay (ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D®). The results were classified as sufficient (> 20 ng/ml), insufficient (10–20 ng/ml) and deficient (< 10 ng/ml).Results153 analyses of vitamin D were carried out (58.2% in girls and 41.8% in boys), distributed in two age groups: 5–10 (62) and 10–15 (91). 66% of the total of the sample presented some degree of vitamin D deficit (60.1% insufficient (92) and 5.9% (11) deficient). In Galicia, there is a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency in the healthy population, which increases if the patients present some kind of chronic pathology, thus leading to a public health problem. It is advisable to increase the consumption of fortified foods and/or to reconsider the administration of vitamin supplements.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s13104-018-3903-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Most of the children with vitamin D deficiency were older children. Beuzit et al (30) studied different age groups of 316 children younger than 10 years old in Western Britain and reported the lowest prevalence rate in age group 0 -18 months (8.8%) and the highest prevalence rate in age group 5 -10 years (51.6%). On the other hand, in Jamali's study (2013) on 250 girls of 11 -17 years old from Rafsanjan, the prevalence rate of vit D deficiency (level of 25(OH) vitamin D less than 50 nmol/L was reported 59.6% with no significant relation between vitamin D deficiency and age (9,30,31).…”

Background: Vitamin D has an essential role in bone growth and metabolism. Currently, its role has been investigated in different diseases. It is high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the world, particularly in developing countries. Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in children of 1 -6 years old and its relation with their age, sex and body mass index. Methods: This study was conducted in pediatric clinic of Javaheri Hospital in Tehran, from 2016 to 2017. The study population was children of 1 -6 years old presenting to the pediatric clinic for routine examination or treatment. The collected data included age, gender, height, weight, and serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D level. Results: Of the total population of 288 children, 47.2% were female and 52.8% were male. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 51%, while 4.51% had severe deficiency (level of vitamin D < 10 ng/mL). The relation between the level of vitamin D and variables of gender, height, weight, and body mass index was not statistically significant. Nonetheless, the level of vitamin D had a statistically significant relation with age such that, serum level of 25(OH) vitamin D reduced by 3.47 ng/mL for every one year of age (P < 0.001). Conclusions:The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is increasing with increasing age. Therefore, adoption of preventive and therapeutic measures is necessary to reduce its prevalence and side effects.One billion people worldwide suffer from vitamin D deficiency, with a high prevalence in the Middle East countries such as Iran, especially in children under 12, with a prevalence range of 25 to 85% (1,2,8,12,13,(17)(18)(19)(20).Since Iran has adopted the policy to prevent vitamin D

“…In Brazil, higher prevalence of hypovitaminosis D was found in the south of the country, with 90·6 % of inadequacy and 63·7 % of deficiency in children and teenagers ( 34 ) , and lower prevalence in the north of the country, with 32·0 % of inadequacy among children ( 35 ) . In developed countries, studies have shown that prevalence reaches 93 % of insufficiency in American children ( 36 ) , 51·6 % of insufficiency in French children ( 37 ) and 28·4 % of deficiency in Danish children ( 7 ) . Tunisia, although not a tropical country, has a sunny climate and has also been reported to have a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in children and teenagers (84·9 %) ( 18 ) .…”
