Overview

Vitamin D deficiency is common worldwide and the incidence is increasing in the recent years. In the US, vitamin D deficiency is more prevalent among non-white ethnic groups. The prevalence is different based on different laboratory methods and the cut-off for the vitamin D deficiency.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

According to Institute of Medicine (IOM), based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003–2006, there is an overall 18.8% prevalence of serum 25OHD concentrations below 40 nmol/L in the US. [1] |-

Prevalence of serum vitamin D concentrations below 40 nmol/l
Total Non-Hispanic White Non-Hispanic Black Mexican American Others
Percent 18.8 (16.3–21.5) 10.6 (8.9–12.4) 53.6 (48.9–58.2) 27.2 (22.8–32.0) 27.2 (23.2–31.7)

However, data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) in 2001-2006 shows that one-quarter were at risk of vitamin D inadequacy (serum 25OHD 30–49 nmol/L), and 8% were at risk of vitamin D deficiency (serum 25OHD less than 30 nmol/L). [2]

Level > 125 nmol/L 50-124 nmol/L 30-49 nmol/L <30 nmol/L
Percentage 1% 67% 24% 8%

Statistics from Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS), Cycle 1, 2007–2009 shows that 13% of Canadians have vitamin D level below 40 nmol/L. [1]

Age

In both sexes, the prevalence was lowest in children aged 1–8 years. Risk of deficiency increased significantly with age until age 30 in males and age 18 in females, after which it did not change significantly with age. [2]

Gender

There is a slight increase in the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in female than male. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) in 2001-2006, the season-adjusted prevalence at risk of deficiency by age ranged from 1% to 8% in males and 1% to 12% in females. [2]

Race

Non-hispanic white people are at lower risk of vitamin D deficiency than African-Americans, Hispanics and Asians.
