Abstract in brief

  • The study evaluated serum vitamin D levels among adult women in the sunlight-deprived Sichuan basin of China, comparing them to women in a sunlight-abundant plateau.
  • Results showed significantly higher rates of severe vitamin D deficiency in the basin (21.85%) versus the plateau (10.09%), with lower average serum 25(OH)D levels in the basin.
  • Interestingly, older women in the basin had higher vitamin D levels than younger ones, and sunlight exposure didn't significantly correlate with their vitamin D status, unlike in the plateau where younger women benefitted more from sunlight.
