Gender combined data. OR were estimated using logistic regressions to model meeting recommended serum vitamin d (>50 nmol/L) on milk intake (OR Amount) or on 6 types of milk consumers (OR Type). Non-consumers were the reference group in both estimations. N = 4061 aged 2–8 years; 8700 aged 9–18 years; 17,457 aged 19–70 years; 3454 aged 71–99 years.
