Research Notes on Vitamin D Deficiency in Children
According to a new study, nearly 20% of children between the ages of 1 and 11 are deficient in vitamin D. The healthy blood level of vitamin D is under debate in the medical community. Currently, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children should have vitamin D levels of at least 50 nmol/L (20 ng/ml). Other studies suggest that vitamin D levels should be higher. 1 Vitamin D is manufactured in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet B rays from sunlight. Vitamin D is also found in some foods, in fortified milk, and through supplements.2
