Racial differences in calculated bioavailable vitamin D with vitamin D/calcium supplementation

摘要

Objectives: Some studies suggest that bioavailable 25-dihydroxyvitamin D [25( OH) D] is more accurate than total 25-(OH) D as an assessment of vitamin D (VitD) status in black individuals. We hypothesized that increases in bioavailable 25-(OH) D would correlate better with improvement in bone outcomes among black HIV-infected adults.
