“…We then studied all the known risk factors for osteoporosis, such as body mass index (BMI), current smoking, alcohol intake, parental bone fractures and peripheral fractures. Dietary calcium intake was assessed by a questionnaire; the calcium diet was considered deficient when daily calcium intake was <1000 mg (Table ).…”

“…The baseline vitamin D status has a major influence on the percentual increase in serum 25(OH)D during cholecalciferol supplementation [33]. This does not seem to be true also for calcidiol, since, as demonstrated in the ADDI-D study, the increase in vitamin D levels obtained by calcidiol administration does not depend on initial vitamin D status.…”

Correction of vitamin D status by calcidiol: pharmacokinetic profile, safety, and biochemical effects on bone and mineral metabolism of daily and weekly dosage regimens

Summary Rationale: Calcidiol can be employed to correct vitamin D deficiency. Main results: Calcidiol administered at daily and weekly regimens over a period of 3 months was able to successfully raise 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels without altering other markers related to bone and mineral metabolism. Significance: Calcidiol supplementation is effective and safe. Introduction The correction of vitamin D status is necessary to maintain an optimal mineral and skeletal homeostasis. Despite cholecalciferol (vitamin D 3 ) is the most commonly used drug for vitamin D supplementation, the more hydrophilic compound calcidiol (25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 ) can be employed at daily, weekly, and monthly regimens to reach in the short term the target levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]. In the administration of different doses of calcidiol pharmacokinetic study (ADDI-D study), the efficacy and safety of daily and weekly dosages of calcidiol were tested. Methods A total of 87 Caucasian, community-dwelling, postmenopausal women, aged 55 years or older, with vitamin D inadequacy (serum 25(OH)D levels <30 ng/ml, with mean 25(OH)D below 20 ng/ml, namely 16.5 ± 7.5 ng/ml) were randomized to receive three different dosages of calcidiol: 20 μg/day, 40 μg/day, and 125 μg/week for 3 months. The attained level of serum 25(OH)D was selected as primary endpoint to assess efficacy, while other parameters of mineral metabolism, (serum calcium, parathyroid hormone, phosphate, FGF23, urinary calcium, and markers of bone turnover) were assessed as secondary endpoints to establish safety. Results In all the three groups, serum 25(OH)D values significantly and promptly rose and plateaued above the 30 ng/ml threshold remaining within safety interval after 14 days of treatment, with similar efficacy for the similar daily and weekly dose regimens. The different dosages were also equally effective in controlling secondary hyperparathyroidism. No significant changes in calcium and phosphate metabolism and in bone turnover markers were observed for any of the treatments, confirming the safety of this compound. Conclusions The results of this study demonstrate the shortand mid-term efficacy and safety on core parameters of mineral metabolism of different daily or weekly dosages of calcidiol when used to treat vitamin D inadequacy or deficiency in postmenopausal women. Further studies are needed to assess falls as primary outcome of calcidiol supplementation.

“…The FFQ results were analysed using the Dietetyk 2 software package (the Polish dietetic software) and the Polish database of nutritional values of food products (19) . The use of an FFQ to assess Ca intake is a commonly accepted and widely applied method, taking into account specified sources of Ca in the diet, mainly dairy products (13,(20)(21)(22)(23) . The standard error of the Ca estimate for the FFQ administered (calculated on the basis of two measurements for fifty participants with repetition during the period of 6 weeks) was 180 mg, while the median difference for the two estimations of daily Ca intake was 12 %.…”

“…Simultaneously, besides gender and age, body mass is the third important element which influences the risk of osteoporosis (10) , while being also associated with Ca intake (11,12) . The most important sources of Ca are dairy products, providing over 60 % of daily Ca intake in women's diets (13,14) and even 74 % in some Polish studies (15) . Simultaneously, they are at least as efficacious as Ca supplements in osteoporosis prevention (16) .…”

Objective: The incidence of osteoporosis increases with age and is most frequently observed in postmenopausal women. The objective of the present populationbased cohort study was to assess the influence of Ca intake from dairy sources on hip bone mineral density and hip fracture incidence in a group of Polish women over 55 years of age. Design: The main outcome measures included: bone mineral density, the number of previous fractures and the reported Ca intake from dairy sources, assessed by a diet questionnaire. Setting: The RAC-OST-POL Study was conducted in the District of Raciborz in the south of Poland. Subjects: The study was carried out in a group of 625 women, randomly recruited from the general population of women aged .55 years. Results: Median Ca intake from dairy products was lower in the group of women with femoral neck T-score #-2?5 than in the group with T-score .-2?5 (275 v. 383 mg/d; P 5 0?0019). For total hip score, the difference was close to borderline significance (P 5 0?0698). Median Ca intake from dairy products was lower in the group of women with previous fractures than in those without fracture history (336 v. 395 mg/d; P 5 0?0254). The main dairy source of Ca in the analysed group included milk drinks, rennet cheese and milk. Conclusions: Higher dairy Ca intake is recommended, since a number of the women analysed were unable to satisfy their Ca requirement exclusively from their diet.
