摘要：Micronutrient deficiencies are a public health problem that causes malnutrition. These deficiencies adversely affect health and increase the prevalence of morbidity and mortality. One of the common deficiencies is vitamin D deficiency. Although the dietary sources of vitamin D are limited, its main source is considered to be the sun. However, vitamin D deficiency in countries that receive sunlight throughout the year raises concerns in this regard. The World Health Organization has recommended food fortification for preventing vitamin D deficiency. Yogurt is a fermented dairy product with high nutritional value and preferred consumption in our society. It has been shown that fortification in yogurt with vitamin D increases serum vitamin D levels. There are studies reporting that consumption of fortified yogurt contributes to health by decreasing fasting glucose, insulin resistance and triglyceride levels.
