DIETARY VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY PREVALENCE AMONG SCHOOLCHILDREN FROM PRIMORSKO-GORANSKA COUNTY, CROATIA
Introduction Vitamin D is of adolescent’s great importance for peek bone mass, while its adulthood deficiency is strongly connected to many chronic diseases. Teenagers are often less exposed to sunlight due to their school lifestyle, so their vitamin D status is more dependent to their dietary vitamin sources. Objective The aim of this study was to establish schoolchildren dietary vitamin D intake according to its major dietary sources and its dietary deficiency prevalence. Methodology Dietary vitamin D was estimated from 861 self- reported seven day 50 items 7 day-FFQ by 15 year-old Croatian schoolchildren. The FFQ structure emphasized more on major dietary vitamin D sources i.e. milk and dairy products, fish and eggs. Results Dietary vitamin D deficiency prevalence was 13.2%. Dietary vitamin D mostly originated from dairy products, but fish intake was also strongly significantly connected (β=0.600, P<0.000) to dietary vitamin D. Milk and dairy food frequency intake was mostly once a day (76%), while fish consumption frequency intake was two times per week by most of the adolescents (58%). Conclusion Study results found small deficiency of dietary vitamin D among adolescents, as a consequence of high dairy and fish consumption. With our study we found that adolescents have fish consumption with strong significant contribution to dietary vitamin D, which sets up a good basis for promotion of Mediterranean diet for its other good health benefits through school meals and school and family education programs. There is a need for future public health serum vitamin D concentration monitoring among Croatian schoolchildren in relation to diet and other parameters that influence serum vitamin D. Public health nutrition programs should promote more Mediterranean diet trough school meals and education.
