JAMA Pediatrics
Peer-Reviewed PublicationAbout The Study: Researchers found in this secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial including 8,800 school-age children with a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency that weekly oral administration of vitamin D for 3 years did not influence growth, body composition, or pubertal development. Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent among children living in temperate climates and has been reported to associate independently with stunting and obesity.
