Racial differences in calculated bioavailable vitamin D with vitamin D/calcium supplementation.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Some studies suggest that bioavailable 25-dihydroxyvitamin D [25-(OH)D] is more accurate than total 25-(OH)D as an assessment of vitamin D (VitD) status in black individuals. We hypothesized that increases in bioavailable 25-(OH)D would correlate better with improvement in bone outcomes among black HIV-infected adults.

Design

This is a secondary analysis of AIDS Clinical Trials Group A5280, a randomized, double-blind study of VitD3 and calcium supplementation in HIV-infected participants initiating antiretroviral therapy.

Methods

Effect of VitD/calcium on total and calculated bioavailable 25-(OH)D, parathyroid hormone, bone turnover markers, and bone mineral density in black and nonblack participants were evaluated at 48 weeks. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests an
