Structural equation modeling of dietary patterns and association with vitamin D levels in children aged 9–16 years in Guangzhou, China
The fruits and vegetables pattern emerged as a risk factor for inadequate internal vitamin D levels. In girls, the high-protein pattern functioned as a protective factor. These findings offer valuable insights and policy recommendations for enhancing the health status of children in rural communities.
