New CDC Nutrition Report Reveals Deficiencies in Some Groups

The CDC's first nutrition report since 2008 finds some population groups are deficient in vitamin D and iron, but overall the nation's nutrition status is favorable. The highest rate of vitamin D deficiency - 31 percent - was found in African Americans. High rates of iron deficiency were found in Mexican American children and Mexican American and African American women of childbearing age. Additionally, iodine levels "border on insufficiency" among young women. Overall, however, the U.S. population has good levels of vitamins A and D and folate. More info Click here.
