A Quarter of Romania's Working-Age Population Has a Vitamin D Deficiency
Published
A recent study shows that approximately one quarter of Romania's active population has a vitamin D deficiency. This vitamin plays an important role in the body, as it helps the absorption of calcium and phosphorus.
Vitamin D is essential for maintaining bone health and for the proper functioning of several organs. Specialists recommend that people check their vitamin D levels, especially if they spend little time outdoors or have a diet poor in natural sources of vitamin D.
The main sources of vitamin D are exposure to sunlight, certain foods, such as oily fish, eggs and fortified dairy products, and dietary supplements. Doctors warn that a low level of vitamin D can lead, over the long term, to bone problems.
The data presented show that this public health issue remains relevant in Romania, and informing the population about the importance of vitamin D can help prevent this deficiency.
