Randomized trial of three doses of vitamin D to reduce deficiency in pregnant Mongolian women.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:In winter in Mongolia, 80% of adults have 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations <25?nmol/l (<10?ng/ml) and 99% have <50?nmol/l (<20?ng/ml). The vitamin D dose to avert deficiency during pregnancy in this population is unknown. METHODS:We conducted a randomized, controlled, double-blind trial of daily 600, 2000, or 4000?IU vitamin D3 for pregnant women in Mongolia (Clinicaltrials.gov #NCT02395081). We examined 25(OH)D concentrations at baseline (12-16?weeks' gestation), 36-40?weeks' gestation and in umbilical cord blood, using enzyme linked fluorescent assay. Sample size was determined to detect 0.4 standard deviation differences in 25(OH)D concentrations with 80% power. FINDINGS:119 pregnant women were assigned 600?IU, 121 assigned 2000?IU and 120 assigned 4000?IU from February 2015 through December 2016. Eighty-eight percent of participants took ?80% of assigned supplements. At baseline, 25(OH)D concentrations were similar across arms; overall mean?±?standard deviation concentration was 19?±?22?nmol/l; 91% were?
