Vitamin D, Blood Pressure, Lipids, Infection and Depression
NCT ID: NCT00960232 Phase: PHASE3 Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 250 Completion: 2010-12
Conditions
Hypovitaminosis D
Interventions
Cholecalciferol, placebo
Summary
There are numerous indications for a relation between low serum levels of 25(OH)D and blood pressure, lipid levels, frequency of infections and tendency towards depression. Whether it is a causal relationship it is not known, and can best be studied with a vitamin D intervention. The investigators hypothesis is that supplementation with a high dose vitamin D (40.000 IU per week) will have a beneficial effect on these parameters.
Primary Outcome
Depression score
