Scientific title
Study hypothesisDoes vitamin D status in young girls influence the accelerated bone growth that normally occurs around puberty and will supplementation with vitamin D to pubertal girls who have vitamin D deficiency lead to increased bone accrual in comparison to their placebo treated controls?
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
ConditionNutritional, Metabolic, Endocrine: Supplements
InterventionThe DXA and pQCT scans will be analysed by Dr Ward and Professor Adams who will be ‘blinded’ as to the subject's study grouping. The primary muscle strength (JM force and power) and bone (TBBMC&D & radial BMC&D) outcome measures will be analysed after controlling for baseline measures, anthropometric variables, baseline 25(OH)D concentration, calcium intake and physical activity using appropriate analysis of covariance models. Descriptive and exploratory statistics will be used for the secondary outcomes, but these will be treated as exploratory. The correlation between Vitamin D status and serum ferritin concentrations will be determined using ANCOVA to adjust for treatment and other relevant variables.
Intervention typeSupplement
Primary outcome measureThe primary outcome measures for the study are the difference in bone mineral content and density over a 12 month period.
