Abstract
Conclusions: The results indicate that the national fortification of fluid milks and margarines with vitamin D safely improved the vitamin D status of children. This approach, in view of the novel health effects beyond bone metabolism, encourages fortification of new food sources with vitamin D or use of vitamin D supplements particularly during wintertime.
