and these were measured using an assay certified to the RMPs. Using data from the AHS, we previously reported prevalence and predictors of vitamin D deficiency in Australian adults aged ≥ 25 years [19]. We found that vitamin D deficiency...
Table 1 Definitions of vitamin D deficiency, insufficiency and sufficiency according to a number of recent guidelines and consensus statements Full size table There are few data which document the epidemiology of serum 25(OH)D concentrations across the general population, but studies in selected groups...
the key opinion leaders established ranges of serum 25-hydroxyVitamin D concentration indicating Vitamin D deficiency [< 20 ng/mL (< 50 nmol/L)], suboptimal status [20-30 ng/mL (50-75 nmol/L)], and target concentration for optimal Vitamin D effects [30-50 ng/mL (75-125 nmol/L)]....
guidelines22only 10% of subjects had sufficient vitamin D concentrations (> 75 nmol/L), 63% were deficient (< 50 nmols/L) and 27% were insufficient (between 50 and 75 nmols/L). Gender-wise, state-wise and area-wise proportion of vitamin D deficiency/ insufficiency is illustrated ...
