Demographic Differences and Trends of Vitamin D Insufficiency in the US Population, 1988-2004, March 23, 2009, Ginde et al. 169 (6): 626 - Arch Intern Med -- Abstract:

Demographic differences and trends of vitamin D insufficiency in the US population, 1988-2004.
Ginde AA, Liu MC, Camargo CA Jr.
Arch Intern Med. 2009 Mar 23;169(6):626-32.
PMID: 19307527

Conclusions National data demonstrate a marked decrease in serum 25(OH)D levels from the 1988-1994 to the 2001-2004 NHANES data collections. Racial/ethnic differences have persisted and may have important implications for known health disparities. Current recommendations for vitamin D supplementation are inadequate to address the growing epidemic of vitamin D insufficiency.

The prevalence of hypovitaminosis D among US adults: data from the NHANES III. - [Ethn Dis. 2005] - PubMed Result

The prevalence of hypovitaminosis D among US adults: data from the NHANES III.
Zadshir A, Tareen N, Pan D, Norris K, Martins D.
Ethn Dis. 2005 Autumn;15(4 Suppl 5):S5-97-101.
PMID: 16315387

CONCLUSION: Serum levels of 25(OH) D3 are below the recommended levels for a large portion of the general adult population and in most minorities. Need exists for a critical review and probable revision of current recommendations for adult vitamin D intake to maintain adequate 25(OH) D3 levels.
