Introduction

Overview

Overview

According to the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force (USPSTF), screening for vitamin D deficiency is not recommended in asymptomatic, non-pregnant adults.

Screening

Screening

There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for vitamin D deficiency. However, there is not enough research for the screening of vitamin D deficiency in at risk subpopulations such as African Americans or non-Caucasians.[1]
