维生素D缺乏症仍被认为在英国很普遍，近年来报告的儿童佝偻病病例数量有所增加。在这项研究中，维生素D的分布和维生素D缺乏症的患病率已经确定了来自伯明翰市中心地区的多民族人口，英国，维生素D检测服务已经提供了超过10年。方法夏末（9月）随机抽取830例门诊患者的血清25-羟基维生素D浓度，采用尼科尔优势专业系统（Nichol’s Advantage specialty System）自动检测。结果在我们的总体研究人群中，维生素D缺乏症的患病率，定义为25-羟基维生素D浓度
Background Vitamin D deficiency is still thought to be widespread in the UK and in recent years the number of cases of rickets reported in children has increased. In this study, the distribution of vitamin D and the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency have been determined for a multi-ethnic population from the inner-city area of Birmingham, UK, where a vitamin D testing service has been readily available for over 10 years.Methods Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration was determined using an automated platform (Nichol's Advantage Speciality System) for 830 outpatient samples collected randomly at the end of summer (September).Results In our total study population, prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, defined as a 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration
