“…Differences in the results of different studies can be attributed to differences in the studied age range, seasons and geographical regions with different levels of humidity, different methods of measurement (RIA HPLC) of serum level of 25(OH) vitamin D, different cut-off points for vitamin D deficiency and some diseases. However, all studies showed a critical need for more research and planning at national level to eliminate the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (8,19,(26)(27)(28)(29).…”

Background: Vitamin D has an essential role in bone growth and metabolism. Currently, its role has been investigated in different diseases. It is high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the world, particularly in developing countries. Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in children of 1 -6 years old and its relation with their age, sex and body mass index. Methods: This study was conducted in pediatric clinic of Javaheri Hospital in Tehran, from 2016 to 2017. The study population was children of 1 -6 years old presenting to the pediatric clinic for routine examination or treatment. The collected data included age, gender, height, weight, and serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D level. Results: Of the total population of 288 children, 47.2% were female and 52.8% were male. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 51%, while 4.51% had severe deficiency (level of vitamin D < 10 ng/mL). The relation between the level of vitamin D and variables of gender, height, weight, and body mass index was not statistically significant. Nonetheless, the level of vitamin D had a statistically significant relation with age such that, serum level of 25(OH) vitamin D reduced by 3.47 ng/mL for every one year of age (P < 0.001). Conclusions:The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is increasing with increasing age. Therefore, adoption of preventive and therapeutic measures is necessary to reduce its prevalence and side effects.One billion people worldwide suffer from vitamin D deficiency, with a high prevalence in the Middle East countries such as Iran, especially in children under 12, with a prevalence range of 25 to 85% (1,2,8,12,13,(17)(18)(19)(20).Since Iran has adopted the policy to prevent vitamin D

“…The patient may report having received follow-up and/or multiple treatments for bone and joint pain, early osteoarthritis, or polyarthritis without convincing evidence of inflammation. The physical examination may disclose varus or valgus deformities of the lower limbs, small stature, an unusual gait, and/or a variable degree of disability ranging from minimal to being confined to a wheelchair (Figure 2) (2,3,13,14).…”

“…Quanto aos parâmetrosMoreover, after XLHR patients were sorted by metabolic status, the noncompensated ones revealed lower Ct.vBMD at the distal tibia compared to quadro clínico inicia-se na infância e a fraqueza muscular, sintoma esperado nas hipofosfatemias, está habitualmente ausente, diferenciando-a dos demais tipos de raquitismo. A ausência de fraqueza muscular ainda tem causa incerta e, por ser um sintoma subjetivo, pode ser um fator de confusão na classificação dos raquitismos hipofosfatêmicos(12,13).…”
