Vitamin D (VTD) status is lower in ethnic minorities compared to White Canadians, but this has not been studied in children under 6 y of age. Therefore, the objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of VTD insufficiency and to identify explanatory variables for 502 children (2 to 5 y) attending Montréal daycares in a cross-sectional study between June 2010 and 2011. Capillary blood sampling demonstrated that 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration was ≤ 50 nmol/L in 10% of White children (n = 262), 14% of Black (n = 36), 0% of Hispanic (n = 15), 16% of Arab (n = 45), 9% of Asian (n = 43) and 14% of Mixed ethnicities (n = 101). The main predictor was sun index for White (∆r2 = 0.09, P = 0.263), VTD intake from supplement fo...
