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.

There are currently knowledge gaps regarding the most well tolerated and appropriate supplementation regimen to prevent vitamin D deficiency among adolescents.
