This is a series of 160 cases identified in Glasgow between 2002 and 2008. Forty percent of the children presented with bow legs and it is concluded that symptomatic vitamin D deficiency remains prevalent in Scotland.

It provides insight into the interpretation of other studies, once the margin of error is realized.
