Measure
Control Group
Standard vitamin D3 dose as per IOM (Institute of Medicine) recommendations; actual dose will be 5000 IU per week, which is just slightly higher than the IOM recommendation of 600 IU per day. Length of time proposed to be 4 months at 5000 IU D3 per week. End of study measures at 4 months to be HOMA-IR, BMI Z score, 25-OH D level. Vitamin D3: Vitamin D3, liquid formulation, 5000 IU/mL.
Low-Normal Group
Initial D3 dose will be 30,000 IU per week; at 6 week intervals serum D3 levels will be checked, and dose adjustments made to reach target 25-OHD level of between 30-50 ng/mL (inclusive). Once within target, D3 dose will be continued for 4 months, and end of study measurements done (HOMA-IR, BMI Z score, 25-OHD level). Vitamin D3: Vitamin D3, liquid formulation, 5000 IU/mL.
High-Normal Group
Initial D3 dose will be 60,000 IU/week; at 6 week intervals 25-OHD levels will be done, and dose adjustments made to achieve target level of 40-60 ng/mL (inclusive). Once within target range, De3 dose will be continued for 4 months, and end of study measures obtained (HOMA-IR, BMI Z score, 25-OHD level). Vitamin D3: Vitamin D3, liquid formulation, 5000 IU/mL.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4-12 mo after randomization (4 months after target 25-hydroxyvitamin D level is reached).

Population: Beginning and ending anthropometric data were available within the specified time limits on 61 subjects and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OHD) levels on 45. Corresponding insulin and glucose data (allowing calculation of HOMA-IR) were available on only 26 subjects, mainly because many 25-OHD levels were obtained when subjects were not fasting.

Change in HOMA-IR from initial visit to end-of-study visit; i.e., the value at the later time point minus the value at the earlier time point. HOMA-IR= Fasting insulin (mIU/ml) x Fasting glucose (mg/dl) / 405.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 to 12 months

Population: Timing of sample collections was too irregular to permit analysis.

The time required to reach a normal Vitamin D level (\> 30) versus BMI Z score at each vitamin D3 dose; OR vitamin D level at 6 weeks versus BMI Z score at each starting vitamin D3 dose.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4-12 mo after randomization (4 months after target 25-hydroxyvitamin D level is reached).

The change in BMI z-score from baseline to end-of-study visit; i.e., the value at the later time point minus the value at the earlier time point. The BMI Z-score indicates the number of standard deviations away from the mean. A Z-score of 0 is equal to the mean of a reference population (i.e., healthy, age and sex-matched children). Negative numbers indicate values lower than the reference population and positive numbers indicate values higher than the reference population.
