- Vitamin D deficiency is linked to several health issues like diabetes and osteoporosis, and there's limited data on its status in Saudi Arabia.
- A study analyzed participants from the Saudi Health Interview Survey, finding that 62.65% of women and 40.6% of men over 15 are vitamin D deficient, with very few taking supplements.
- The findings indicate a significant prevalence of deficiency, especially among unmarried women and obese individuals, highlighting the need for public health awareness and strategies to improve vitamin D levels in Saudi Arabia and similar regions.
