&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;A study on over 37,000 people showed nearly 69 per cent were deficient&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Chennai: &lt;/em&gt;Vitamin D has been in the news lately and it looks like it&#039;s there to stay.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
A recent study conducted by a diagnostic centre on 37,010 people across five zones in the country (including Tamil Nadu) revealed that 69 per cent of those tested were vitamin D deficient, and a further 15 per cent had insufficient levels of the important vitamin.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Created by the body with exposure to direct sunlight and also absorbed through some foods - such as certain kinds of fish, meat and eggs - vitamin D is needed to keep the bones healthy, say doctors.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The study, conducted by SRL Diagnostics on 13,308 men and 23,702 women earlier this year, also revealed that men in the age group 31-60 and women in the age group 16-30 were at a higher risk of vitamin D deficiency, said Premila Samuel, chief pathologist, SRL Ltd, Chennai.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Between 30 and 100 nanograms per millilitre of vitamin D is considered sufficient. Below 30 ng/ml indicates insufficient levels of vitamin D, and below 20 is considered deficiency,&amp;quot; explained Dr. Samuel. She added that the test used for the survey was the 25 hydroxy Vitamin D test.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Rajan Ravichandran, Director, MIOT Institute of Nephrology, however questions whether this test can reflect a true deficiency of vitamin D3. &amp;quot;We have plenty of sunshine in our country and it seems paradoxical that we are deficient in vitamin D,&amp;quot; he wrote to The Hindu. &amp;quot;What is important for bone health and vitamin D action is the free form. However, the free forms are quite normal. Hence, even though the total vitamin D3 level is low in blood, they are not deficient for vitamin D since the free levels are normal,&amp;quot; he posited.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
A.B. Govindaraj, chief consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Fortis Malar Hospital, said vitamin D leads to better bone strength, muscle strength and improved immunity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Most of my patients have low levels of vitamin D. Once patients who have the deficiency start taking vitamin D supplements, there is a dramatic improvement. Their bone pain and general tiredness goes away and they feel much better overall,&amp;quot; said Vijay C. Bose, consultant orthopaedic surgeon, SRM Institute of Medical Sciences.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
However, patients must not take too much of the supplement, or it could lead to toxicity,&amp;quot; said Dr. Govindaraj.

&lt;em&gt;A study on over 37,000 people showed nearly 69 per cent were deficient&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Chennai: &lt;/em&gt;Vitamin D has been in the news lately and it looks like it&#039;s there to stay.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
A recent study conducted by a diagnostic centre on 37,010 people across five zones in the country (including Tamil Nadu) revealed that 69 per cent of those tested were vitamin D deficient, and a further 15 per cent had insufficient levels of the important vitamin.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Created by the body with exposure to direct sunlight and also absorbed through some foods - such as certain kinds of fish, meat and eggs - vitamin D is needed to keep the bones healthy, say doctors.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The study, conducted by SRL Diagnostics on 13,308 men and 23,702 women earlier this year, also revealed that men in the age group 31-60 and women in the age group 16-30 were at a higher risk of vitamin D deficiency, said Premila Samuel, chief pathologist, SRL Ltd, Chennai.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Between 30 and 100 nanograms per millilitre of vitamin D is considered sufficient. Below 30 ng/ml indicates insufficient levels of vitamin D, and below 20 is considered deficiency,&amp;quot; explained Dr. Samuel. She added that the test used for the survey was the 25 hydroxy Vitamin D test.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Rajan Ravichandran, Director, MIOT Institute of Nephrology, however questions whether this test can reflect a true deficiency of vitamin D3. &amp;quot;We have plenty of sunshine in our country and it seems paradoxical that we are deficient in vitamin D,&amp;quot; he wrote to The Hindu. &amp;quot;What is important for bone health and vitamin D action is the free form. However, the free forms are quite normal. Hence, even though the total vitamin D3 level is low in blood, they are not deficient for vitamin D since the free levels are normal,&amp;quot; he posited.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
A.B. Govindaraj, chief consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Fortis Malar Hospital, said vitamin D leads to better bone strength, muscle strength and improved immunity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Most of my patients have low levels of vitamin D. Once patients who have the deficiency start taking vitamin D supplements, there is a dramatic improvement. Their bone pain and general tiredness goes away and they feel much better overall,&amp;quot; said Vijay C. Bose, consultant orthopaedic surgeon, SRM Institute of Medical Sciences.

&lt;em&gt;A study on over 37,000 people showed nearly 69 per cent were deficient&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Chennai: &lt;/em&gt;Vitamin D has been in the news lately and it looks like it&#039;s there to stay.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
A recent study conducted by a diagnostic centre on 37,010 people across five zones in the country (including Tamil Nadu) revealed that 69 per cent of those tested were vitamin D deficient, and a further 15 per cent had insufficient levels of the important vitamin.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Created by the body with exposure to direct sunlight and also absorbed through some foods - such as certain kinds of fish, meat and eggs - vitamin D is needed to keep the bones healthy, say doctors.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The study, conducted by SRL Diagnostics on 13,308 men and 23,702 women earlier this year, also revealed that men in the age group 31-60 and women in the age group 16-30 were at a higher risk of vitamin D deficiency, said Premila Samuel, chief pathologist, SRL Ltd, Chennai.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Between 30 and 100 nanograms per millilitre of vitamin D is considered sufficient. Below 30 ng/ml indicates insufficient levels of vitamin D, and below 20 is considered deficiency,&amp;quot; explained Dr. Samuel. She added that the test used for the survey was the 25 hydroxy Vitamin D test.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Rajan Ravichandran, Director, MIOT Institute of Nephrology, however questions whether this test can reflect a true deficiency of vitamin D3. &amp;quot;We have plenty of sunshine in our country and it seems paradoxical that we are deficient in vitamin D,&amp;quot; he wrote to The Hindu. &amp;quot;What is important for bone health and vitamin D action is the free form. However, the free forms are quite normal. Hence, even though the total vitamin D3 level is low in blood, they are not deficient for vitamin D since the free levels are normal,&amp;quot; he posited.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
A.B. Govindaraj, chief consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Fortis Malar Hospital, said vitamin D leads to better bone strength, muscle strength and improved immunity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
