Organizations need to be clear about their target populations and know the demographics of their constituencies in comparison to the larger community. For example, a target population could be all of the people in an organization's local community, everyone in the state, or people living at or below the poverty level within a given community. After clearly defining its constituency, an organization can evaluate whether or not it serves all racial/ethnic groups within that constituency proportionately.
For bone health, an adequate intake of vitamin D is no less important than calcium. Vitamin D is found in milk and vitamin supplements, and it can be made by the skin when it is exposed to sunlight in the summertime. But not all sunlight is created equal.
Vitamin D is essential to the proper absorption of calcium. Vitamin D allows calcium to pass from your gut into your bloodstream so that your body has access to the mineral. Without sufficient vitamin D, your body cannot absorb calcium, regardless of how much you consume. You can increase the amount of vitamin D in your body by taking in more vitamin D-rich foods, such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, fortified milk, egg yolks, enriched cereals and fortified orange juice.
