What affects vitamin D deficiency?

• Insufficient exposure to sunlight without UV protection
• Dark skin phototype (the time spent in the sun should be increased the more the darker the skin, as the synthesis of vitamin D slows down)
• Diet (vegans and people who do not have enough wild fatty fish in their diet or those who eat a low-fat diet are particularly at risk of deficiency)
• Frequent illnesses or infections (the immune system needs enough vitamin D to function properly, and the vitamin is depleted when fighting infections)
• Inflammatory bowel diseases affect reduced absorption
• Kidney and liver disease (vitamin D synthesis takes place in the liver and kidneys)
• Increased stress (also if you have depression or anxiety, you are likely to suffer from vitamin D deficiency)
• Genetic factors (these can affect the metabolism of vitamin D)
• Overweight
