Prophylaxis of vitamin D deficiency - Polish Recommendations 2009
Endokrynol Pol 2010;61(2):228-232.
Abstract
Adequate vitamin D intake and its status are important not only for bone health and Ca-P metabolism, but for optimal function of many
organs and tissues throughout the body. Due to documented changes in dietary habits and physical activity levels, both observed in
growing children and adults, the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency is continuously increasing. National consultants and experts in the
field have established some Polish recommendations for prophylactic vitamin D supplementation in infants, toddlers, children, and adolescents
as well as in adults, including pregnant and lactating women basing on a review of current literature.
