We can get vitamin D from the sun. I suppose that during the winter in some countries they do not have the possibility to obtain this vitamin through the sun. So this is a great article.

Vitamin D deficiency, when serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D is lower than 25 nmol/L, occurs in risk groups all over the world, mainly in the Middle East, China, Mongolia, and India. Risk groups for poor vitamin D status are children especially those with low birth weight, adolescents, pregnant women, older persons, and non-Western immigrants. A vitamin D status can be considered adequate (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D >50 nmol/L) in less than 50% of the world population at least in winter.
Worldwide Vitamin D Status

Part of it is lack of sun, some of it is cultural (see the Middle East). I think a some of it has to do with the amount of time that people spend at work.
