“…Fortification of flour and cooking oil is practiced in the Middle East, (74,75) and fortification of milk, oil, and rice with vitamin D is now practiced in India. (76) Modeling of fortification policies lead to the conclusion that several methods can be successful. (77) Of course, the use of vitamin D supplements can also increase vitamin D status (see temporal and regional trends in vitamin D status).…”

Vitamin D status varies across all continents and countries. Vitamin D status usually is adequate in Latin America and Australia, but in contrast it is very low in the Middle East and some countries in Asia. Trends in vitamin D status, whether it improves or declines over the years, carry important messages. Trends usually are small, but can be predictors and indicators of general health. Vitamin D status has improved in the older population in the United States, and improvement relates to dairy use and vitamin D supplements. To the contrary, vitamin D status has declined in the Inuit population of Canada due to a change from a traditional fish diet to a Western diet. A large improvement was seen in Finland after mandatory fortification of dairy products was introduced. Determinants of decline are less sun exposure, increased use of sunscreen, increase of body mass index (BMI), less physical activity, and poor socioeconomic status. Determinants of increase are food fortification with vitamin D and vitamin D supplements. Food fortification can lead to a population-wide increase in vitamin D status as shown by the Finnish example.

“…(6) This may relate to low cutaneous synthesis of vitamin D due to skin pigmentation, and cultural and personal practices that lead to avoidance of sun exposure, and environmental factors, such as high degree of air pollution, which lower UVB availability. (45,46) The estimated vitamin D supply of $1 μg/d for India up to 2017 was totally inadequate to prevent the decline in vitamin D status that occurs when UVBinduced cutaneous synthesis is limited or absent, irrespective of underlying reason. However, the present analyses of 2018 FBS data, and assuming universal adoption of the fortification of milk with the recommended 5 to 7.5 μg/L from the very start of that year rather than August when the regulation was published, (16) suggests that per capita vitamin D supply could be increased to $3 μg/d or more, when one also accounts for fortification of vegetable oil.…”

Nationally representative data on vitamin D intake can inform on the adequacy of dietary supply of vitamin D in a population, but such data is lacking for a majority of countries.Estimates of average per capita supply of vitamin D, as calculated using information from the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) national food balance sheets (FBS) can be used as proxy measures for vitamin D intake within a population. In the present work, FAO national FBS (from 2004 to 2017) for 173-178 countries around the globe were used to generate such average per capita vitamin D supply estimates. For countries where food fortification with vitamin D was common, the estimates accounted for this. Using the 2004-2013 FBS data, there was a large range in average per capita vitamin D supply ranging from 0.3 (Ethiopia) to 17.8 (Maldives) µg/day. Globally, 40, 60, 70, 4 , 2 and 2 countries had average per capita vitamin D supply estimates <1.

“…Fortification (zinc, iron, vitamin A, vitamin D) of commonly consumed staple foods is one of the easiest and most practical strategies to combat micronutrient deficiencies. Vitamin D fortification of staple foods is a proven feasible strategy to combat vitamin D deficiency in India (Jan et al, 2019). Nevertheless, the effect of processing on various properties of bioactive agents still remains debatable and further research is necessitated to explore the hidden potential of different processing operations to enhance the biological effect of bioactive compounds with a specific investigation to elucidate their role in improving the nutrition status and in combating the various diseases, for example, OA.…”

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease, a leading cause of bone-related disabilities affecting the quality of life of a huge segment of the global population. To eradicate this problem, non-pharmacological treatments like diet and lifestyle modification (weight loss, Tai chi, cupping therapy, kinesio taping, ultrasound and wholebody vibration, low-level laser therapy, manual therapy, electrotherapy, mudpack therapy, and moxibustion) are effective along with medical treatments. Nowadays, these preventive and therapeutic remedies are getting more attention as adjuvant measures due to enhanced awareness among the common people. In most OA management guidelines, dietary modifications along with effective exercises and therapies are preferred over other existing treatments owing to their safe nature and significant positive effects on reverting the OA symptoms. Scientific evidence has shown that food components such as phytochemicals, polyphenols, flavonoids, epigallocatechin 3-gallate, ellagic acid (EA), vitamins, minerals, extracellular vesicles, glucosamine, and chondroitin sulfate have a promising effect on relieving the OA symptoms and slowing down its progression due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. This review summarizes the evidence-based dietary and lifestyle modifications for improved bone health with special reference to OA. Novelty impact statement:This review summarizes the evidence-based nonpharmacological approach with reference to diet (phytochemicals, antioxidants, nutrients), lifestyle modification (exercises, other therapies), and comments on the effect of food processing on bioactive compounds in the management of OA. This data can serve as a benchmark or guideline for clinicians, practitioners, researchers, and patients to manage the OA.
