摘要

Vitamin A deficiency is a severe condition, particularly in malnourished children and women in developing countries. It is the leading cause of preventable blindness - and can significantly increase the risk of disease from severe infections. Approximately one third of the world's pre-school-age population is estimated to be vitamin A deficient; with highest prevalence (44-50%) being reported in regions of Africa and South-East Asia. According to a 2013 report published in the Journal of Health, Population and Nutrition, India has the highest prevalence of clinical and subclinical vitamin A deficiency among South Asian countries; 62% of pre-school children were reported to be deficient in vitamin A. These dramatic results suggested high mortality rate, leading to an annual 3,30,000 child deaths. Women of childbearing age were also reported to excessively suffer from night blindness.
