“…Canadian and American youth averages of respectively 23% and 25% [158,159]. The discrepancy in regard to total dietary intake of vitamin D in this population compared to national averages is thus most likely attributable to the increased awareness of the importance of consuming daily dietary vitamin D sources in patients with a bone fragility disorder such as OI.…”

Background Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disease characterized by fragile bones and short stature. Recently, a positive association was found between serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentrations and lumbar spine areal bone mineral density (LS‐aBMD) z‐scores in this population. Objectives: To assess whether high‐dose vitamin D supplementation (2000 IU) will result in significantly higher LS‐aBMD z‐scores after one‐year; and to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on lower limb muscle power. Results: At baseline, average serum 25OHD concentration was 65.6 nmol/L (SD 20.4) with no difference seen between treatment groups (p=0.77). Deficient serum 25OHD concentrations (<50 nmol/L) were measured in only 21% of patients at baseline. Supplementation resulted in higher serum 25OHD concentrations in almost all participants (90%) with significantly higher increases seen with 2000 IU (mean [95% C.I.] = 30.5 nmol/L [21.3; 39.6] vs 15.2 nmol/L [6.4; 24.1], p= 0.02). No significant changes were detected in BMD measurements or in lower limb muscle power between treatment groups from baseline to final visit. Conclusions Supplementation with either 400 or 2000 IU of vitamin D translates into significant increases in serum 25OHD concentrations in children with OI. However, increases in baseline serum 25OHD concentrations already within a healthy range (蠅50 nmol/L) do not translate into increases in BMD z‐scores in children with OI. This research was supported by the Shriners Hospital for Children as well as by The Network for Oral and Bone Health Research.

“…Feeding-practice categories are mutually exclusive and based only on consumption of breast milk and formula. 19 Pediatricians and allied health care providers are uniquely positioned to help increase the percentage of infants who receive adequate amounts of vitamin D, because parents are more likely to give their children vitamin D supplements if they are advised to do so by a health care professional. 20 It is unfortunate that many health care professionals are not recommending vitamin D supplements for infants.…”

“…The 1988-1994 National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES) found that 23?9 % of US adolescents (age 12-19 years) used supplements (7) . Further studies based on the 1999-2004 NHANES reported similar rates (age 9-19 years; 26-29 %) (6,8,9) . Two studies differentiated between younger and older adolescents (6,8) and found conflicting results.…”

AbstractsObjective: Little is known about the prevalence of nutritional supplement use in European adolescents. We conducted the present study to analyse the prevalence of nutritional supplement use and factors associated with this use among Slovenian adolescents. Design: The nutritional supplementation practices of 818 adolescents were studied using an anonymous questionnaire. Information was sought on the type of supplements used, frequency of use and sources of information. Setting: The region of north-west Slovenia. Subjects: Schoolchildren from twenty primary schools and twelve secondary schools. Results: Some 19?3% of all adolescents reported using at least one nutritional supplement and the prevalence of use was significantly higher in adolescents who were members of sports clubs. Multivitamins were the most common nutritional supplement. Older adolescents were significantly more likely to be supplementing with iron, protein and minerals. Less than 16 % of supplement users in our study sought information from health-care professionals. Nearly 62 % obtained information from parents and coaches, and many adolescents appear to decide on nutritional supplementation themselves, without advice. Older adolescents were significantly more likely to combine supplements than younger adolescents. Conclusions: One-fifth of Slovenian adolescents use nutritional supplements. There are clear differences in supplement use between younger (age 12 years) and older (age 17 years) adolescents. Multiple use of supplements, coupled with self-managed supplementation in older adolescents, is concerning. Hence, there is an urgent need to provide accurate information regarding nutritional supplements, which will help adolescents, their parents and coaches to make informed choices about their use.
