| Mori Gate | Gurgaon | |
|---|---|---|
| High pollution area | Low pollution area | |
| n=26 | n=31 | |
| Except for ALP and PTH, all data are presented as mean (1 SD). Serum 25(OH)D2 was only detected in five children from the Mori Gate area and none from the Gurgaon area; it is presented as range only for the subjects from the Mori Gate area. | ||
| Thirty four subjects aged 9–24 months were recruited from each of the study areas; however, data are not provided for eight subjects from the Mori Gate area and three subjects from the Gurgoan area due to failed venepunctures. | ||
