IProportion of the Population Above and Below 40 nmol/L Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentrations and Cumulative Distribution of Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentrations: United States and Canada

The data in this appendix are provided for the readers of this report and were not reviewed by the committee.

For the United States (Table I-1 and Figures I-1 through I-8), the tables and figures for serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentrations are from analyses conducted in August 2010 by the National Center for Health Statistics, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003–2006.

TABLE I-1. United States: Prevalence of Serum 25OHD Concentrations (QC adjusted) Above and Below 40 nmol/L by Total Population and by Race/Ethnicity (ages 1 year and older) from NHANES 2003–2006.
