Apart from several risk factors the lack of awareness is posing a serious threat for low vitamin D levels in children as well. The aim of our study was to compare the knowledge and status of vitamin D in Saudi school children. Methods Saudi students 1188 boys years and 1038 girls years were recruited and a pre-designed questionnaire with regards to knowledge about vitamin D was administered. Blood samples were collected and serum 25hydroxyvitamin D 25 OH D was measured. Results A significantly higher percentage of boys answered correctly than girls regarding knowledge questions as sun exposure p and breastfeeding p and diseases p . The percentage of girls was significantly higher who thought that fruits and vegetables are not rich sources of vitamin D girls vs. boys p girls vs. boys p respectively. Boys had a higher prevalence and frequency of sun exposure than girls p for both . Girls showed a significantly higher percentage of sunscreen use and full covering during sun exposure p for both .Vitamin D deficiency was significantly higher in girls than boys versus p . Vitamin D status in boys was significantly higher than girls p . In girls those who answered correctly about vitamin D related disease p and sources p demonstrated significantly higher .
