June 2013: Vitamin D deficiency at the Arctic Circle
As many as 82% of adolescents living in Norbotten County in Sweden, near the Arctic Circle, are vitamin D deficient in winter, even though vitamin D intake meets current national recommendations. Surprisingly, vitamin D deficiency is as common in controls as in food allergic adolescents eliminating vitamin D-containing foods (milk, egg and/or fish). The result suggests that the current national recommendations on vitamin D intake are insufficient, especially in the northern parts of Sweden.
