The past decade, particularly the last 18 months, witnessed a vigorous increase in interest in vitamin D from both the lay and biomedical worlds. Much of the growing interest in vitamin D is powered by new data being extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The newest statistics demonstrate that more than 90% of the pigmented populace of the United States (Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians) now suffer from vitamin D insufficiency (25-hydroxyvitamin D <30 ng/ml), with nearly three fourths of the white population in this country also being vitamin D insufficient. This represents a near doubling of the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency seen just 10 yr ago in the same population. This review attempts to provide some explanation for: 1) the rapid decline in vitamin D status in the United States; 2) the adverse impact of vitamin D insufficiency on skeletal, infectious/inflammatory, and metabolic health in humans; and 3) the therapeutic rationale and reliable means for vigorous supplementation of our diets with vitamin D.

A long-term shift in the locus of US population growth passed a critical threshold in the 1970s, when the nonmetropolitan growth rate surpassed the metropolitan growth rate. Demographic trends of the 1950s, 1960s, & 1970s are reviewed, utilizing county-level census data. The possibility is explored that interregional & metropolitan/nonmetropolitan migration flows are related to amenity-based locational preferences & the distribution of economic opportunities; both factors are found to have significant & independent impacts. Manufacturing & mining employment growth are significantly related to total employment growth, contrary to the view that economic growth is due to market expansion consequent to population growth. 5 Tables, 3 Figures.
