Brief summary
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the metrological properties of a questionnaire that aims to identify the vitamin D status in reference to a vitamin D blood dosage.
Detailed description
Each subject will perform only one visit (visit V1). The study duration per subject will last about 2 hours. During this visit V1, the subjects will perform a medical exam in order to check their eligibility (general statement and check of inclusion / non-inclusion criteria). The eligible subjects will fill up a study questionnaire and will perform a blood sampling for a dosage of serum vitamin D.
Interventions
One blood sampling will be performed for a serum vitamin D dosage. The volume of blood collected will not exceed 4 ml.
The questionnaire includes 19 questions concerning the following topics : a) sun exposure, b) living situation, c) eating habits and Vitamin D dietary intakes. In addition, two questions will capture demographic data.
