摘要

Dear Editor:Fortification programs are not established for nutrients like vitamin D among other nutrients in Iran.It is reported that approximately 80％ of Iranians do not meet the estimated average requirement for calcium and vitamin D[1].The Iranian Multicenter Osteoporosis Study (IMOS) has shown that more than 80％ of Iranians have vitamin D deficiency[2].However,currently,there is no data on vitamin D supplementation in elderly adults in Iran.
