Genomics of Vitamin D Supplementation and Warfighter Nutritional Resilience
Abstract
Purpose: Warfighters are at risk for musculoskeletal injuries and metabolic disorders which negatively impact physical performance and military readiness; vitamin D adequacy may mitigate these problems. The purpose of this study was to assess baseline serum 25(OH)D, treat levels below 30 ng/mL with supplementation, and correlate 25(OH) D with self-reported symptoms and body composition to develop a phenotype for low vitamin D status.
