Abstract
Given the recent spate of reports of vitamin D deficiency, there is a need to
reexamine our understanding of natural and other sources of vitamin D, as well as
mechanisms whereby vitamin D synthesis and intake can be optimized. This state-of-the-art report from the Drug and Therapeutics Committee of the Lawson Wilkins
Pediatric Endocrine Society was aimed to perform this task and also reviews recommendations for sun exposure and vitamin D intake and possible caveats associated
with these recommendations. Pediatrics 2008;122:398–417
