Adequacy of vitamin D intakes in children and teenagers from the base diet, fortified foods and supplements

Abstract: Objective: To describe vitamin D intakes in children and teenagers and the contribution from supplements and fortified foods in addition to the base diet. Design: Analysis of 7 d weighed food records collected during the Children's and Teens' National Nutrition Surveys in Ireland. Food composition data for vitamin D were updated from international analytical sources. Setting: Nationally representative cross-sectional dietary surveys. Subjects: Children (n 594; 5-12 years) and teenagers (n 441; 13-17 years).

“…Because vitamin D is naturally found in few foods (mainly oily fish) and few food products are fortified adequately (mainly dairy and cereal products), it is difficult to achieve an adequate vitamin D status through diet alone. Indeed, dietary intake of vitamin D is typically inadequate [18], including among asthmatic cohorts [25]. Further, a randomized controlled trial demonstrated that diet was inadequate to achieve sufficient serum 25(OH)D [41].…”

“…With the new recommended vitamin D intake of 10 µg/day, it is evident that a major part of the population will fall short of this intake level. Earlier studies investigated the importance of different dietary sources to population intakes of vitamin D [14,15], whereas others addressed the potential contribution of fortification of common foods with vitamin D [16,17,18]. These studies concluded that vitamin D intake was too low to sustain a healthy vitamin D status in the population without mandatory fortification of staple foods or without a dramatic increase in fish consumption.…”

“…However, only a few studies have analyzed the prevalence of supplement use in Japan (8)(9)(10). Furthermore, studies on fortified food use have mainly focused on subjects at high risk for certain nutrient deficiencies, such as vitamin D and iodine, in industrialized and developing countries (11)(12)(13)(14)(15); there has been no report on the prevalence of fortified food in a representative sample of community residents.…”
