India is promoting universal vitamin A supplementation (UVAS) on the grounds that it could result in a 23% decrease in overall mortality. However, this controversial claim has only been discovered in clinically vitamin A-deficient endemic areas with basic healthcare services. Apart from conjectures the exact metabolic mechanisms involved in bringing about this mortality reduction are unknown. The findings of researchers from the John Hopkins School provide the majority of the evidence for the mortality reduction claim.
