In Europe there is increasing evidence that the dietary supply is currently unable to offset the seasonal sunshine deficit of vitamin D, which increases with latitude and the duration of winter.
The ODIN project aimed to provide high-quality scientific evidence to prevent vitamin D deficiency in European citizens and improve nutrition and public health through food.
“The benefits of using this standardization approach can be illustrated by the results of the ODIN study which showed, as just two examples, that ~10 million few German adults and a quarter of a million more Irish adults had vitamin D deficiency using the standardized vitamin D levels compared to nonstandardized levels.”
ODIN aimed to test the efficacy and safety of the fortified products in food-based randomised control trials varying in scale from small product-specific trials to a large total diet study in vulnerable indigenous and immigrant sub-groups.
