The knowledge of health related issues is most important for medical students, as they shall be responsible for the health of the society. Before the importance of VD and its sources is made known in the society it is of greater importance that the medical students be well aware of its significance in the wellbeing of humans and the sources that maintain its levels for efficient physiological functions. In communities, they can prevent vitamin D deficiency and correct the perception about sunlight exposure, in order to promote activities among the health professionals, taking a lead role in making people aware about vitamin D importance, and its abundant resources especially through sunlight.
All the students knew the importance of VD for good health and most of them were aware of its requirement for calcium absorption. Almost 93% knew about VD deficiency issues and 97% took VD enriched food in their diet. Muscle pain and fatigue was also experienced by some respondents, out of which very few took treatment. Most of the medical students were aware about the symptoms and causes of VDD. Majority of them did not like to have sunlight exposure, and the remaining individuals were unaware of the proper schedule and duration of exposure required for efficient VD synthesis.
Prevention (VD supplements) is better than cure (expensive diagnostic test for VD levels detection and treatment), and management of sources of acquiring and synthesizing VD is the key to prevention from diseases like hypovitaminosis D (deficiency of vitamin D), osteoporosis (adult), osteomalacia (bone pain) and rickets (child), not ignoring its role in boosting the immune system.
