Materials and Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among
201 apparently healthy children (aged 1–5 years) in an urban slum of the selected
geographical area in Mumbai. VDD was defined as serum 25-hydroxy Vitamin D (25 [OH] D)

higher (P= 0.04) among children staying indoors (44.8%). 25 (OH) D was negatively …
