Description

Mohammed Jamali, Suad Abdeen, and Thazhumpal Mathew measure vitamin D levels in healthy students at Kuwait University. Their cross-sectional study was published in twenty twenty-four. Sun-rich countries still show surprising deficiency, and young adults are seldom checked.

Two hundred and one medical and dental students gave blood and answered a survey. Eighty-five in each hundred fell below the deficiency line. Only about six in each hundred reached the optimal range. Deficiency hit men slightly harder than women. Students in the later, clinical years had notably higher levels than juniors. The authors urge awareness and screening on campus despite the desert sun.
