Vitamin D and adolescents: what do we know?
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 08/21/09
Stoffman N et al. – Vitamin D deficiency is common among both healthy and ill adolescents worldwide, even in sunny countries. Although much of the data relating vitamin D status to biological markers and complications has been obtained in adults, the information emerging from studies of adolescents supports the premise that maintaining sufficient levels of vitamin D during the teenage years can improve long–term health outcomes. There are currently knowledge gaps regarding the most well tolerated and appropriate supplementation regimen to prevent vitamin D deficiency among adolescents.
