Evaluation, treatment, and prevention of vitamin D deficiency: an Endocrine Society clinical practice guideline. (2011, background): “In addition, 42% of African-American girls and women aged 15–49 yr throughout the United States had a blood level of 25(OH)D below 15 ng/ml at the end of the winter (30), and 32% of healthy students and physicians at a Boston hospital had 25(OH)D below 20 ng/ml (31).”
Maternal intake of vitamin D during pregnancy and risk of recurrent wheeze in children at 3 y of age. (2007, background): “In addition to the regional similarities noted above, vitamin D insufficiency is more common among African Americans (17) and among the obese (18).”
Vitamin D and Diabetes Let the Sunshine In (2008, background): “The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III used a slightly lower level of <15 ng/mL.(43) A physiologic response to low serum vitamin D concentrations by increased parathyroid hormone indicates vitamin D deficiency and skeletal risk.”
Higher 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations are associated with better lower-extremity function in both active and inactive persons aged > or =60 y. (2004, result): “This study confirms the high prevalence of low 25(OH)D concentrations in the general older population and an even higher prevalence in blacks (36, 37).”
High prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in black and white pregnant women residing in the northern United States and their neonates. (2007, background): “Yet, we are aware of only 2 studies that assessed 25(OH)D concentrations in black and white pregnant women in the United States, both of which were conducted over 20 y ago with small sample sizes.”
Prevalence and correlates of vitamin D deficiency in US adults. (2011, methodology): “different cutoff points have been used to define vitamin D deficiency, several studies have reported a high prevalence rate of vitamin D deficiency in non-Hispanic blacks [30-33].”
Prevalence of Vitamin D inadequacy among postmenopausal North American women receiving osteoporosis therapy. (2005, background): “The great majority of subjects in our study were Caucasian; thus, we could not fully assess the prevalence of vitamin D inadequacy in nonCaucasians, although, as reported by others, non-Caucasians are likely to have an even higher prevalence of vitamin D inadequacy (46, 47).”
