Vitamin D Deficiency and Other Conditions

  • A growing body of research suggests that vitamin D might play some role in the prevention and treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes hypertension, glucose intolerance , multiple sclerosis , and other medical conditions However, most evidence for these roles comes from in vitro, animal, and epidemiological studies, not the randomized clinical trials considered to be more definitive. Until such trials are conducted, the implications of the available evidence for public health and patient care will be debated.
  • Vitamin D supplementation lowered overall mortality rate for any reason

A recent meta-analysis found that use of vitamin D supplements was associated with a reduction in overall mortality from any cause by a statistically significant 7% . The subjects in these trials were primarily healthy, middle aged or elderly, and at high risk of fractures; they took 300-2,000 IU/day of vitamin D supplements.
