A survey has been carried out on 206 healthy Pakistani women attending with their sick children at the paediatric outpatients department and 252 pregnant Pakistani women near term attending the antenatal clinic of the Karachi Prosgraduate Medical Centre. 12-6% of helathy women and 33% of pregnant women had biochemical abnormalities in serum calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase which were corrected with subsequent administration of vitamin D. The absence of clinical disease has been ascribed to the supplementation received through the ultraviolet irradiation of the skin.
对在儿科门诊带着患病孩子前来就诊的206名健康巴基斯坦女性以及在卡拉奇研究生医学中心产前诊所就诊的252名近期怀孕的巴基斯坦女性进行了一项调查。12.6%的健康女性和33%的孕妇血清钙、磷和碱性磷酸酶存在生化异常，后续补充维生素D后这些异常得到纠正。临床疾病的缺失归因于通过皮肤紫外线照射获得的补充。
