什么是维生素D缺乏症？
维生素D是健康骨骼所必需的。有些人没有足够的维生素D--称为维生素D缺乏症。

为什么我需要这个测试？

在10月和3月之间，英国的阳光不足以制造足够的维生素D，多达四分之一的人血液中的维生素D含量很低。
维生素D缺乏会使人们面临佝偻病或骨质疏松症的风险，一些研究表明，得不到足够的维生素D也可能与心脏疾病、糖尿病、哮喘和老年人的认知障碍有关。

维生素D缺乏的高危人群
英国首席医官说，这些群体特别容易出现维生素D缺乏症:
孕妇和哺乳期妇女，特别是青少年和年轻妇女;
婴儿和5岁以下儿童;
65岁及以上的人;
很少或没有接触过太阳的人。这包括因文化原因而遮蔽的人，宅在家里或长期呆在室内的人;
皮肤较黑的人，如非洲人、非洲-加勒比人和南亚人。这些群体不能像皮肤较白的人那样制造大量维生素D。

What is Vitamin D Deficiency?

Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones. Some people don't have enough vitamin D - called vitamin D deficiency.

Why do I need this test?

Between October and March, the sunlight in Britain is not strong enough to make enough vitamin D, and up to a quarter of the population has low levels of it in their blood.

Vitamin D deficiency can put people at risk of Rickets or Osteomalacia and some research suggests that not getting enough of it may also be linked to Heart conditions, Diabetes, Asthma and Cognitive impairment in older adults.

Vitamin D deficiency at-risk groups

The Chief Medical Officers of the UK say these groups are at particular risk of vitamin D deficiency:

Pregnant and breastfeeding women, especially teenagers and young women.
Infants and children under 5 years of age.
People 65 and over.
People who have little or no exposure to the sun. This includes covering-up for cultural reasons, people who are housebound or who stay indoors for long periods of time.
People with darker skin, such as African, African-Caribbean and South Asian origin. These groups are not able to make as much vitamin D as those with paler skin.
