Abstract:
... Vitamin D deficiency is very common in elderly people. We investigated whether a diet contained 400 IU of vitamin D per day for 10 weeks could increase plasma levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin-D3, a good measure of body status for vitamin D. The study groups included 232 subjects, aged 65-74 years (114 men and 118 women), who were assigned at random into two groups: 98 participants in intervention group ...
