Prevention of Rickets and Vitamin D Deficiency in Infants, Children, and Adolescents
Carol L. Wagner,Frank R. Greer +1 more
TL;DR: These revised guidelines for vitamin D intake for healthy infants, children, and adolescents are based on evidence from new clinical trials and the historical precedence of safely giving 400 IU of vitamin D per day in the pediatric and adolescent population.

TL;DR: Considering the evidence-based literature review, the National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends lifestyle choices that promote maximal bone health from childhood through young to late adolescence and outline a research agenda to address current gaps in knowledge.

Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of Vitamin D Insufficiency in an Adult Normal Population
Marie-Claire Chapuy,Paul Preziosi,M. Maamer,S. Arnaud,Pilar Galan,Serge Hercberg,P. J. Meunier +6 more
TL;DR: The results showed that in French normal adults living in an urban environment with a lack of direct exposure to sunshine, diet failed to provide an adequate amount of vitamin D, and the clinical utility of winter supplementation with low doses ofitamin D was discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin D supplementation, 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations, and safety
TL;DR: The assembled data from many vitamin D supplementation studies reveal a curve for vitamin D dose versus serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] response that is surprisingly flat up to 250 microg (10000 IU) vitamin D/d.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin D insufficiency among free-living healthy young adults.
TL;DR: This study sought to examine the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in a group of free-living healthy young adults, consisting of mostly health care professionals, in Boston, Massachusetts.
Journal ArticleDOI
An international comparison of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D measurements.
TL;DR: Results show that 25(OH)D values from different laboratories can not be assumed to be comparable unless a careful cross-calibration has been performed, and interlaboratory variation may hamper comparison between results from different populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal changes in plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations of young American black and white women.
TL;DR: Although it is well established that blacks have denser bones and lower fracture rates than whites, elevated parathyroid hormone concentrations resulting from low 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations may have negative skeletal consequences within black populations.
