 Study:

  • A study of more than 300,000 adults in the United Kingdom found support for a causal relationship between vitamin D deficiency and mortality
  • The findings suggest a need for public health strategies to maintain healthy levels of vitamin D in the population
  • Recent estimates for the prevalence of severe deficiency range from 5 to 50 percent of the population, with rates varying by geographic location and population characteristics
