"The main source of vitamin D is sunshine. Asian parents tend to keep their children indoors more and when they do go out they tend to be more covered-up than white children. This aplies especially to girls.
Asian mothers also tend to breast feed their babies longer than white mothers and their babies miss out on the benefits of powdered baby milk which often contains vitamin supplements."
