Lots (most) people of colour are below their threshold of "VDI" (vitamin D insufficiency) and perfectly healthy.

The fact that the study doesn't talk about base rates for ethnicities is pretty "striking" (to use a word they breathlessly, and wrongly, use).




I would argue that they are not perfectly healthy. Non-severe Vitamin D deficiency has no acute effects, but lifetime risk for developing severe illness does go up.
