Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of different doses of vitamin D in persons, immigrated to Sweden from Middle East or Africa, with decreased S vitamin D.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The participants in the study have taken part in a previous screening study. They are now asked to participate in this treatment study. At a screening visit blood samples for vitamin D3 and PTH are collected. Data regarding previous fractures, life style, exposure for sun, clothes, diet, smoking and physical activities are collected. The Vitamin D value predict the treatment dose.
