[QUOTE]Originally posted by MindoverMatter718: Nutritional rickets among children in the United States: review of cases reported between 1986 and 2003 http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/80/6/1697S [QUOTE]Reports of hypovitaminosis D among adults in the United States have drawn attention to the vitamin D status of children. National data on hypovitaminosis D among children are not yet available. Reports from 2000 and 2001 of rickets among children living in North Carolina, Texas, Georgia, and the mid-Atlantic region, however, confirmed the presence of vitamin D deficiency among some US children and prompted new clinical guidelines to prevent its occurrence. We reviewed reports of nutritional rickets among US children <18 y of age that were published between 1986 and 2003. We identified 166 cases of rickets in 22 published studies. Patients were 4-54 mo of age, although in 17 studies the maximal age was <30 mo. [b]Approximately 83% of children with rickets were described as African American or black[/b] , and 96% were breast-fed. Among children who were breast-fed, only 5% of records indicated vitamin D supplementation during breast-feeding. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently recommended a minimal intake of 200 IU/d vitamin D for all infants, beginning in the first 2 mo of life. AAP recommends a vitamin D supplement for breast-fed infants who do not consume at least 500 mL of a vitamin D-fortified beverage. Given our finding of a disproportionate number of rickets cases among young, breast-fed, black children, we recommend that education regarding AAP guidelines emphasize the higher risk of rickets among these children. Education should also emphasize the importance of weaning children to a diet adequate in both vitamin D and calcium. INTRODUCTION [b]Recent studies reported high rates of hypovitaminosis D among adolescents and adults in the United States, particularly among black subjects ( 1 - 3 ).[/b] National data on the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D among children are not yet available; however, published reports from 2000 and 2001 of cases of clinical nutritional rickets among young children living in North Carolina ( 4 ), Texas ( 5 ), Georgia ( 6 - 8 ), and the mid-Atlantic region ( 9 ) confirmed the presence of severe vitamin D deficiency among some US children and stimulated renewed interest in the disease and new American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) clinical guidelines to prevent its occurrence ( 10 ). Results [i]Most studies provided the sex and racial/ethnic distribution of cases, [b]indicating that overall 54% of cases (80 of 148 cases) with reported sex were male and 83% (138 of 166 cases) were African American or black,4%nonwhite (of African American or Indian decent), 6% white, 2% Hispanic, 2% Alaskan native, and 1% Middle Eastern, Asian, or unknown.[/b] The 5 studies that reported cases among white children were reports from northern states, ie, Washington, Minnesota, New York, Connecticut, and New Hampshire (18, 23, 27, 30, 32)[/i] [/QUOTE]Keep on denying it...but I've debunked y'all years ago.
