One of the authors of the study say deficiency of vitamin D is very common, and a serious medical condition which will eventually affect ones health and well being of adults. It is important to monitor the level of vitamin D intake in us. On an average, about 600 IU of vitamin D is consumed by adults up to 70 years of age, and 800 IU by those above 70 years of age.
