General recommendations:
The vitamin D levels should be kept at normal range (30 ng/mL) either by
vitamin D supplementation or by optimum sun exposure. Sun exposure
should be preferred due to its benefits on other physiological
functions.
Men, women and children should be encouraged and facilitated to expose
themselves in the sun shine. Balanced diet containing dairy products
fortified with vitamin D and the use of sea foods should be recommended
for child bearing and nursing mothers.
A country wide survey could be conducted to assess the present status of
vitamin D in this population and the possible reasons of its deficiency
in this population.
