Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: vitamin D supplementation for three years in school children with vitamin D deficiency results in increased serum levels with no impact on growth, body composition and pubertal development.

Reviewers´ commentary: although the population included in this study differs from the population in our setting, the results suggest that vitamin D supplementation should not be considered in this age range, at least in general, in the absence of other individualized indications.
