To better understand the nutritional status of vitamin D and its influencing factors on Chinese older adults, we adopted stratified random sampling to select serum samples originating from the Chronic Disease and Nutritional Survey Biobank of Chinese Residents in 2015\u20132017. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunoassay. The OR and PR of associated factors for vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency were calculated. In the study, a total of 6273 participants were included. Median serum 25(OH)D concentration was 18.48 (13.27\u201324.71) ng\/mL. The overall rate of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency was 58.27% (&lt;20 ng\/mL), and the VDD rate was 22.17%, which is worse than 5 years ago by nearly 20%. The likelihood of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency is increased in women, people aged and above 70 years, ethnic minorities, people living in urban areas, midlands, or western areas, warm or medium temperate zones, with middle school and above education level, and people with abdominal obesity and anemia would increase the possibility of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency with latitude having the greatest impact on vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency. Overall, vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency are very common in Chinese older adults. They should be encouraged to improve their vitamin D nutritional status through enough sunshine exposure and increasing vitamin D intake through diet or supplements.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu15204476","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,23]],"date-time":"2023-10-23T01:41:21Z","timestamp":1698025281000},"page":"4476","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Vitamin D Status and Associated Factors of Older Adults in the Cross-Sectional 2015\u20132017 Survey"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0423-9169","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yichun","family":"Hu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Nutrition and Health, China CDC, Beijing 100050, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Trace Element Nutrition of National Health Commission, Beijing 100050, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Nutrition and Health, China CDC, Beijing 100050, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Trace Element Nutrition of National Health Commission, Beijing 100050, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deqian","family":"Mao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Nutrition and Health, China CDC, Beijing 100050, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Trace Element Nutrition of National Health Commission, Beijing 100050, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Nutrition and Health, China CDC, Beijing 100050, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Trace Element Nutrition of National Health Commission, Beijing 100050, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Nutrition and Health, China CDC, Beijing 100050, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Trace Element Nutrition of National Health Commission, Beijing 100050, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weidong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Nutrition and Health, China CDC, Beijing 100050, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Trace Element Nutrition of National Health Commission, Beijing 100050, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoguang","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Nutrition and Health, China CDC, Beijing 100050, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Trace Element Nutrition of National Health Commission, Beijing 100050, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lichen","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Nutrition and Health, China CDC, Beijing 100050, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Trace Element Nutrition of National Health Commission, Beijing 100050, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1689S","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/80.6.1689S","article-title":"Overview of general physiologic features and functions of vitamin D","volume":"80","author":"DeLuca","year":"2004","journal-title":"Am.
