According to a 2019 pan-India research, 70-90 percent of Indians are vitamin D deficient, which can affect bone growth in newborns and children as well as bone health in adults.

 

Vitamin D deficiency means you're missing out on the vitamin's immune-boosting properties. Vitamin D, in fact, has been shown to aid in the management of respiratory infections such as colds and flus throughout the winter months.

 

As per latest study the Vitamin D deficit is connected to chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, according to the study.

 

Vitamin D deficiency was observed in 84.2 percent of Type II diabetes patients and 82.6 percent of hypertension patients, according to the research.

 

It found no significant differences in deficiency levels between the North, South, East, and West areas, with prevalence rates of 88 percent, 90 percent, 93 percent, and 91 percent, respectively.

 

Vitamin D insufficiency affects up to 84 percent of pregnant women in India, and it is also linked to Vitamin D deficiency in their babies. 16 children whose mothers have low vitamin D levels are at risk for delayed prenatal and postnatal skeletal development. Due to this, both height and bone health are affected by this.
