Abstract in brief

  • The study found that vitamin D supplementation in 6-8 year old children during winter led to a 17% reduction in sick days caused by acute respiratory tract infections (ARTI) and a 43% decrease in days with fever, suggesting that vitamin D helps protect children from these infections at northern latitudes where sunlight is limited.
  • The research was part of a larger 24-week double-blinded clinical trial involving 200 children, with most completing the ARTI questionnaires, and it showed that children receiving vitamin D experienced increased serum vitamin D levels compared to the placebo group.
  • The results support recommending vitamin D supplementation during extended winter months in northern regions to help reduce the severity and duration of ARTIs in children.]
