Efficacy of food fortification for the prevention of vitamin D deficiency – results of a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Food fortification with vitamin D is a potentially effective public health strategy to address vitamin D deficiency. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the current evidence that food fortification can improve vitamin D status in the population by increasing circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations in excess of the cut-off levels representing deficient or desirable status.Five medical and health databases (Medline OVID, PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controll… Show more

“…Whilst there have been systematic reviews of the regulatory situation surrounding nanotechnology (Grobe 2008 ), to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no systematic reviews of research investigating consumer attitudes, perceptions and acceptance of agri-food nanotechnology have been conducted or registered on the PROSPERO 1 (PROPSERO 2012 ) database, nor on the databases of the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination (Centre for Reviews and Dissemination 2012 ; Besley et al 2008 ) The systematic reviews that have been conducted to date are in the general area of nanotechnology application (e.g. in relation to risk assessment) or have focused on specific food issues, such as vitamin D food fortification (Black et al 2011 ). A systematic review of research into consumer’s attitudes towards and acceptance of agri-food nanotechnology is timely and policy relevant, as simply considering attitudes to specific applications may not reflect general trends in attitudes and consumer priorities for development.…”
