The aim of our work is to evaluate the dietary intake of vitamin D in the Moroccan adolescents.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This study included 257 Moroccan adolescents who performed a vitamin D questionnaire (VDQ), covering the consumption of four foods with high vitamin D content (fi sh, milk, margarine and yoghurt).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The average dietary vitamin D intake was 4.6μg/day. This observational study on Moroccan adolescents indicates a high prevalence of insuffi cient vitamin D intake, and below the recommended consumption values, particularly in girls.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Inadequate vitamin D intake is common among the adolescents. To fi ght against this situation, initiatives must be implemented, including improved population education, lifestyle and vitamin D supplementation, in order to avoid serious adverse health consequences of bone.</p>
