Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Low vitamin D levels are widely documented as prevalent across various global populations and high-risk groups, though some regional cohorts show higher rates of sufficiency.

The analysis

Multiple papers and reviews establish that hypovitaminosis D is a common global health concern affecting children, healthcare workers, and specific patient cohorts, outweighing localized studies where deficiency appears less common.
