The relative risk for substantial decline on Trail-Making Test B was 1.31 (95% CI, 1.03-1.51) among those who were severely 25(OH)D deficient compared with those with sufficient levels of 25(OH)D. No significant association was observed for Trail-Making Test A.Low levels of vitamin D ...
Vitamin D deficiencies are linked to multiple human diseases. Optimizing its synthesis, physicochemical properties, and delivery systems while minimizing s
We found that total 25(OH)D was strongly influenced by age, and that light coloured sheep had higher 25(OH)D3 (but not 25(OH)D2) concentrations than dark sheep. The coat colour polymorphism in Soay sheep is controlled by a single locus, suggesting vitamin D status is heritable in this...
Several studies have demon- strated that low serum 25(OH)D levels correlate to poor physi- cal performance and decreased physical activity[1-5]. Although inconsistently, previous studies have suggested that vitamin D supplementation results in less severe functional limitations, fewer falls and ...
(RCT) of 782 Danish children and adults, fortified milk and bread (9.4 μg/day total vitamin D intake compared with 2.2 μg/day for control foods) successfully prevented a decrease in serum 25(OH)D concentration over winter and allowed maintenance of serum 25(OH)D in children >50 nmol ...
Results A total of 104 cases and 102 controls were included in the study. The cases had significantly lower 25-OH vitamin D3 levels (MD = 33.86 ng/mL, 95% CI= (31.85, 35.87), P < 0.001) and CD4 counts (MD = 267.48 cells/mm3, 95% CI= (189.55, 345.41), P...
32 Due to the fact there is still some controversy on the best classification of Vitamin D status,33, 34 we used the clinically relevant definition of serum 25(OH)D levels (<50 nmol l−1) to define vitamin D deficiency in the present study. Serum total cholesterol, serum ...

Overall, 7.8% of 25(OH)D levels were <50 nmol/l and 19.4% of infants had at least one low level. Low levels were particularly common at 2 mo, i.e., 1 mo after the start of supplementation, when a total of 24 infants (12.4%) still had low levels. Overall, low levels were ...
Vitamin D has been suggested as a possible adjunctive treatment to ameliorate disease severity in human inflammatory bowel disease. In this study, the effects of diets containing high (D++, 10,000 IU/kg), moderate (D+, 2,280 IU/kg) or no vitamin D (D
