Objective Vitamin D deficiency (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D Design Cross-sectional analysis of baseline vitamin D supplement use data. Setting UK Biobank cohort. Subjects In total, 8024 South Asians (Bangladeshi, Indian, Pakistani), aged 40–69 years. Results Twenty-three per cent of men and 39 % of women ( P P P v . >60 years: OR=0·75; 95 % CI 0·65, 0·86) and in those living outside Greater London (OR=0·53 to 0·77), with borderline trends for a lower BMI, higher oily fish intake and higher household income associated with increased odds of vitamin D supplement use. Conclusions Vitamin D supplements were not used by most South Asians and intakes from diet alone are likely to be insufficient to maintain adequate vitamin D status. Public health strategies are now urgently required to promote the use of vitamin D supplements in these specific UK South Asian subgroups
