Background: Vitamin D insufficiency (defined as 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations 0.45 mcg/kg/day.Interpretation: Vitamin D insufficiency may be common among children and adolescents at the beginning
As the first fully automated 25OHD RIA, Diasorin’s vitamin D assay was used to establish health-based reference values worldwide. Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency may result in abnormalities of bone structure in children, muscle and bone weakness and increase falls in the elderly. As a...

There are few data which document the epidemiology of serum 25(OH)D concentrations across the general population, but studies in selected groups often report a high prevalence of VDD. Two recent large studies in the United Kingdom (UK) demonstrated that around a third of children had a serum ...
observations that maternal vitamin D insufficiency might be associated with reduced size at birth, but accelerated gain inbody fatduring early childhood, add to the considerable amount of evidence suggesting that vitamin D status during pregnancy may have critical effects on the later health of ...

Some experts think that 25(OH)D levels between 21 and 30 ng/ml are a sign of vitamin D insufficiency in children, as in adults, and are a sign that the child needs more vitamin D in their diet. Although the use of sunscreen can block the synthesis of vitamin D by blocking UVB radia...
1a-hydroxylase (e.g., sarcoid) or B cell lymphoma—associated macrophages [134], this biochemical pattern provides the robust clinical evidence that calcitriol excess is the endocrine etiology of hypercalcemia—and can be observed even in the setting of mild 25(OH)D insufficiency with seasonality...
Furthermore, even in children aged 6–19 y, vitamin D insufficiency has been associated with cardiometabolic risk factors such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, and low levels of adiponectin (8–12). In this context, however, there has been little study of the cardiometabolic risk factor ...
