ASSESSMENT OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY IN EARLY CHILDREN IN ANDIJAN PROVINCE
Keywords:
vitamin D, vitamin D deficiency, young childrenAbstract
In the spring-autumn season of 2021-2022, children of both sexes under the age of three living in Andijan region (n=120) were examined. After entering the study, blood was drawn to determine the concentration of 25-OH vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency (25-OH vitamin D concentration in blood plasma below 30 ng/ml) was found in 56% of children. The high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among young children living in the region has been found to require the introduction of prevention programs.
