Abstract

A garment comprising UV-transparent material is described for use in the treatment or prevention of Vitamin D deficiency. The garment may be suitable to be worn as a part of traditional Muslim clothing, for example as a part of the hijab. The wearing of such a garment may reduce the risk of Vitamin D deficiency in veiled Muslim women.
