Objectives: To assess the potential dietary supply of vitamin D to Australian adults by application of new data for Australian primary foods of animal origin.
Methods: New published analytical data on the vitamin D contents of Australian primary foods from animal products were obtained and assessed for reliability. Using food consumption data from Australian population dietary surveys for 1995 and 2011-2013, estimates were made of the likely average daily intakes of vitamin D equivalents from these sources by Australian adults.
Results: Meats, chicken, fish, eggs and dairy produce may alone have contributed about 4.2 μg vitamin D equivalents per day to average Australian diets of adults >18 years in 1995 and 4.3 μg in 2011-2013.
Conclusions: Dietary vitamin D intake in Australia is likely to be higher than previously estimated because new data from improved analytical methods reveal the contributions to vitamin D supply from foods of animal origin. Absence of reliable vitamin D data for milk and milk products, and the gaps in vitamin D data for many commonly consumed seafood, poultry, eggs and processed animal products greatly limit estimation of dietary vitamin D intakes by Australians.
目的：採用澳洲主要動物來源食物的新數據，以評估澳洲成人可能的維生素 D 膳食供應。方法：新發表的澳洲主要動物製品其維生素D 含量資料收集及 信度評估。食物攝取資料來自於1995 年及2011-2013 年澳洲族群的飲食調 查，從澳洲成人的這些食物來源作為近似平均每日維生素D 當量攝取的估計 值。結果：1995 年，>18 歲成人，僅肉類、雞、魚、雞蛋及乳製品，即可貢 獻約4.2 μg 維生素D 當量，2011-2013 年則約4.3 μg。結論：由於改善動物來 源食物的維生素D 含量分析方法，使得澳洲飲食維生素D 的攝取量似乎比之 前的估計高。牛奶及乳製品缺乏可信的維生素D 數據，以及許多常吃的海 鮮、家禽、蛋類及加工動物製品其維生素D 數據的分歧，使得澳洲人的維生 素D 估算極其受限。.
