Brief Summary

Age affect insulin sensitivity and the metabolism, and vitamin D status was shown to have a correlation with markers of insulin resistance. That's why, we aimed in our trial to study the effect of vitamin D supplementation on glycemic markers and index of insulin resistance.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • HOMA-IR

    The HOMA-IR formula was as following: HOMA-IR = \[insulin (mU/L) × glucose (mg/dL)\]/22.5 where IR is the mutual of percentage sensitivity with a normal value of 1.0.

Model Details: This was a randomized, controlled, double blind study. Participants were randomized into 2 groups; the vitamin D group received three times per week a supplement of 10,000 IU cholecalciferol (Euro-Pharm International, Canada) and the placebo group who also received three times per week a tablet containing microcrystalline cellulose (66.3%), starch (33.2%), and magnesium stearate (0.5%), per serving. The treatment was led for a period of 6 months.
