초록

The clinical importance of vitamin D has been recently highlighted, due to non-skeletal effects of vitamin D and the fact that vitamin D receptors are observed in many kinds of cells. Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency results in the development of gastrointestinal diseases, including obesity, hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C, and inflammatory bowel disease in children. The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in 188 Korean adolescents, aged 12-13 years, was 98.9% for boys and 100% for girls. This article reviews recent publications, regarding vitamin D deficiency and childhood gastrointestinal diseases, and introduces new treatment and prevention guidelines for vitamin D deficiency. ? 2014 by The Korean Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition.
