Vitamin D deficiency and rickets is surprisingly high worldwide. Here in the US an estimated 50% of the teenage population are vitamin D insufficient or deficient. Additionally, 50% of children ages 1-5 are vitamin deficient, and 70% of 6-11 year-olds are.

High percentages of African-Americans, Native Americans, Mexican-Americans, and other darker skinned people are also affected, as well as the elderly.
