In the original version of this article, table 2 citation should have read as ‘shown in Table 2’ instead of ‘shown in Table 2, Textbox 1’ in the first paragraph of the introduction section.

Table 2.

Dietary reference values^a and supplementation recommendation for vitamin D from the Health Council of the Netherlands [3–5]

^aThe dietary reference values for vitamin D include vitamin D intake from food and supplements, and vitamin D intake coming from exposure to sunlight. For children and adults aged 4 to 50 (women) or 70 (men) years old with a fair skin colour, exposure to sunlight covers roughly two-thirds of the daily requirement throughout the year. Adequate exposure to sunlight is defined as 15–30 min of daily exposure to sunlight between 11.00 AM-3.00 PM with head and hands uncovered. For supplement use, vitamin D3 is preferred, as it has been shown to be more effective than vitamin D2 [3]

^bFor individuals with fair skin colour and adequate exposure to sunlight there is no supplementation recommendation (0 µg/d). Individuals with fair skin colour and inadequate exposure to sunlight or a dark skin colour the supplementation recommendation is 10 µg/d. Skin colour is defined with the Fitzpatrick classification where types I, II and III are defined as fair skin colours and types IV, V and VI are defined as dark skin colours [9]

The Table 2 and textbox 1 were appeared separately and now both have been replaced with correct Table 2. The Table 2, which previously appeared as
