Core Tip	Vitamin D is known to be a key regulator of bone metabolism and muscle strength. Vitamin D deficiency is widely prevalent worldwide. In this article we emphasize that vitamin D status may be also related to a number of non-skeletal diseases, including cardiovascular events, cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases. Obesity has also been recently associated with vitamin D insufficiency. We demonstrate that the pediatric population is also at high risks of vitamin D deficiency. Studies that investigated the status of vitamin D deficiency in Israel, which is a known multi-cultural sunny country, revealed a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency.
