Vitamin D Status Across Age Groups in Turkey: Results of 108742 Samples from a Private Laboratory
Conclusion: With successful implementation of the vitamin D supplementation program, Turkey seems to have overcome vitamin D deficiency for those under 1-years of age. However, the positive impact of the program does not continue over 1 year of age, indicating that vitamin D supplementation may be required in the older children and adults. On the other hand, increased awareness about vitamin D should be continued to prevent unnecessary and excessive use of vitamin D supplements.
