Abstract in brief

This meta-analysis shows that long-term vitamin D supplementation (more than 3 years) significantly reduces overall mortality, especially in subgroups like women, younger individuals, those with vitamin D deficiency, and when combined with calcium.
No significant benefit was observed in studies with follow-up periods shorter than 3 years, indicating that the positive effects of vitamin D on mortality become apparent only with prolonged use.
The findings suggest that long-term vitamin D supplementation could be an effective strategy for reducing death rates, but more research is needed to understand its impact on specific causes of death like cancer and heart disease.]
