Winter and vitamin D deficiency: Does it matter anyway?
- Vitamin D deficiency is common in Australia, affecting nearly one-third of adults aged over 25 years.
- The main source of vitamin D for Australians is exposure to sunlight. Thus, serum levels of vitamin D vary according to the season and are lower at the end of winter.
- 'A great deal of the population suffers from vitamin D deficiency, especially during winter months'.
