Abstract

Vitamin A,as one of the most important micronutrients in the body,its deficiency is the leading cause of preventable blindness in children and increases the risk of serious infections leading to disease and death.Vitamin A deficiency remains a major public health problem in most developing countries.Although there are various sources of Vitamin A and ways of supplementation,there is a lack of relatively new policies to guide vitamin A intervention at the national and international levels.Therefore,the following review is made based on the analysis of the latest global Vitamin A deficiency epidemic trend estimation and a large number of intervention studies.
