An analysis of vitamin K status in Chinese healthy children aged 0–18 years
In this study, we defined the median values and reference ranges of MK-4 and VK1 in a sample of Chinese children aged 0-18 years. MK-4 levels were higher in underweight children. Both MK-4 and VK1 levels exhibited seasonal variations. Further research is needed to explore the factors affecting MK-4 and VK1 levels.
