Abstract

In this lecture, we discuss the main causes of the vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency in the Western region of Ukraine, as well as present data on the incidence of vitamin D deficiency among various population groups, which confirm the widespread prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the country. Numerous studies suggest that the current vitamin D insufficiency in Ukrainian population (85 % of general population has reduced levels of 25(OH)D) is due to both low level of its endogenous synthesis and insufficient intake with food: the territory of the country is located in a zone of low insolation, and at the same time, the main natural sources of vitamin D (marine oily fish) and products fortified with vitamin D are very limited in the diet of the population. Taking measures to increase the status of vitamin D and maintaining the optimal serum levels of 25(OH)D in children and adults, adequate vitamin D intake will improve the condition of the musculoskeletal system, as well as reduce the risk of development and improve the control of some chronic diseases.
