Medics have claimed that 99 per cent of Thai people who underwent blood tests for vitamin levels were found to be deficient in vitamin D - despite living in a hot country with year-round sun.
Doctor Rojanaree Thitisuwan, manager of Vejthani Hospital's checkup centre, said that the majority of people who were tested either work indoors or actively avoid sunlight in order to maintain pale skin.
