Vitamin D supplements advised for all

Health officials have been urging the public to consider taking vitamin D supplements in autumn and winter.

Deficiency can cause rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults.

Devi Sridhar, professor of global public health at the University of Edinburgh, told BBC Scotland that everyone should aim for 10 micrograms each day.
