Abstract

Our country India is vastly populated tropical country with majority of the population living in areas which receive adequate sunlight. The state of Rajasthan especially receives more than ample amounts of sunlight, leading to the misbelief that vitamin D deficiency can not be found among the people residing in this state. However, according to the published literature, Vitamin D deficiency is quite common in India in all ages and sexes (1). Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent all over the world. Studies have reported approximately 1 billion people to be vitamin D deficient worldwide. (2)
