Good points. Here is some data on vitamin D deficiency in the UK (where the original study was conducted) that also addresses seasonality: https://www.bjfm.co.uk/prevention-of-vitamin-d-deficiency https://www.bjfm.co.uk/prevention-of-vitamin-d-deficiency
"Low serum levels of vitamin D are found in significant numbers of all population groups in the UK: in winter 30-40% of all age groups in the general population are classed as vitamin D deficient. Even towards the end of summer 8% of adults and 13% of adolescents remain deficient."
where deficient is defined as < 25 nmol/L of 25(OH)D
- tfehring 8y agoThanks for the link. Seems like the posted study’s results are very similar to the deficiency rates for the overall UK population in winter. (Their data was collected between February and April.)
