Vitamin D - intakes & 

Hip Fracture Rates

 

 

Eggs and fish are the vitamin D containing foods.

The interesting thing is, that only in countries where both much milk and fish is consumed (Iceland, Norway, Spain, Finland), or milk and eggs (The Netherlands), the hip fracture rates are very high, and not in countries where only high amounts of fish or eggs are consumed.

 

The consumption of fish (in 1998, in kg / cap / year) in several countries (and continents):


202.6  Maldives

94.5  Iceland
77.1  Kiribati
65.1  Seychelles
64.8  Japan
62.1  Portugal
57.5  Guyana
55.3  Fr. Polynesia
54.9  Malaysia
53.7  Norway
51.6  Gabon
48.0  Dominica
46.4  Spain
41.8  South Korea
36.9  Malta
33.6  Finland

22.7  Oceania
21.8  North America
21.2  Europe
17.1  Asia
 8.9  South America
 8.0   Africa
 7.8   Sub-Sahara
 7.5   Central America


The differences in egg consumption are of less importance, because both the total amounts are lower AND the difference between high and low level intakes are lesser.
