    TLDR Over 65% of people in the United Arab Emirates have undetected vitamin D deficiency, causing symptoms often mistaken for stress or migraines.
    In the United Arab Emirates, despite abundant sunshine, over 65% of the population suffers from vitamin D deficiency, which is often undetected for years due to its subtle symptoms. The study from 2017 highlighted that symptoms such as fatigue, hair loss, peeling nails, headaches, skin rashes, bone and muscle pain, loss of energy, and chronic pain are frequently misattributed to stress or migraines, rather than being correctly diagnosed as signs of this "silent disease." The prevalence of these symptoms across all age groups indicates a significant public health concern regarding vitamin D deficiency in the region.
