Vitamin D status in infancy and cardiometabolic health in adolescence.

CONCLUSIONS: Serum 25(OH)D at age 1 y is inversely associated with childhood BMIZ, percentage body fat at age 16/17 y, and a MetS score at age 16/17 y. Intervention studies are warranted to examine the effects of vitamin D supplementation in early life on long-term cardiometabolic outcomes. PMID: 33021621 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
