[The detection of vitamin D3 deficiency in preschoolers and schoolchildren of Moscow and St. Petersburg].
The evaluation of prevalence and intensity of vitamin D3 deficiency in preschoolers and schoolchildren residing in Moscow and St. Petersburg was implemented. It is established that 63.6% of all Moscow children and adolescents of and 43% of St. Petersburg minors live in conditions of vitamin D3 deficiency. Regardless of the residence region, the vitamin D3 deficiency prevalence is more typical for schoolchildren as compared with preschoolers. The higher prevalence of vitamin D3 deficiency demands to change the policy of vitamin D3 supply among minors.
