Objective: To assess sociodemographic, nutritional and health conditions associated with vitamin D sufficiency among young Brazilian children living at different latitudes. Design: Cross-sectional analysis with a four-level model of inflammation to correct micronutrient concentrations. Prevalence ratios (PR; 95 % CI) were estimated for factors associated with vitamin D sufficiency (≥50 nmol/l), adjusting for child’s sex, age, skin colour, stunting and vitamin A+D supplementation. Setting: Primary health-care units in four Brazilian cities located at lower (7°59′26·9016′′S and 9°58′31·3864′′S) and higher latitudes (16°41′12·7752′′S and 30°2′4·7292′′S). Participants: In total 468 children aged 11–15 months were included in the analysis. Results: Only 31·8 % of children were vitamin D sufficient (concentration P trend = 0·001). Conclusions: Lower latitude, higher maternal education and vitamin A concentration were positively associated with vitamin D sufficiency in young Brazilian children. These findings are relevant for planning public health strategies for improving vitamin D status starting in early infancy
