Provincial mean 25(OH)D ranged between 11.8 and 25.8\u2009ng\/mL, displaying a significant north\u2013south decreasing gradient, and provincial mean 25(OH)D concentrations were inversely correlated with age\u2010standardized death rates for multiple cancer types, being strongest for breast, kidney, and liver cancer.
