Background: The condition of vitamin D (25OHD) deficiency represents an important public health problem. In Europe, hypovitaminosis is common not only in the elderly population but also between 50 and 70 years, both in males and females. Data regarding vitamin D intake in the Italian population are very limited. In a recent paper, reporting data collected by a specific Frequency Food Questionnaire (FFQ), we observed in a small group of healthy subjects that the dietary consumption of vitamin D, both in females and males, was far below the average. Methods: With the aim of expanding our preliminary data, we conducted a survey on a large cohort of subjects from different areas of Northern, Central, and Southern Italy. The FFQ contained 11 different questions regarding the amount and type of intake of foods containing ergocalciferol and cholecalciferol. It was submitted to 870 subjects, 627 females and 243 males, with an age range from 40 to 80 years; 31.6% of the studied population was apparently in good health, while 68.4% were affected by different pathologies. Results: The present data confirm previous observations: the global quantity of vitamin D intake in 14 days was 70.8 μg (±1.8 SE, ±54.4 SD) in females and 87.5 μg (±1.9 SE, ±57.1 SD) in males; the mean daily intake of vitamin D in females and males was 5.05 μg (±0.5 SE, ±3.8 SD) and 6.25 μg (±0.21 SE, ±4.1 SD), respectively. In healthy subjects, a gradual decrease was observed in the overall intake of vitamin D in both females and males according to an increase in age bracket, ranging from 74.5 μg and 103.8 μg in the 40–50 age group to 54.5 μg and 87.8 μg in the 71–80 age group, respectively. Conclusions: In conclusion, the present data, collected in a large Italian cohort, underscore that the daily intake of vitamin D is far below the recommended daily average, thereby contributing to the development of potential hypovitaminosis.
