Vitamin D—Overhyped or Underused?by Ginny Graves

What Does Oprah Say?
Your Vitamin D level should be >30
If you can’t get 15 min of sun per day, take a
supplement containing ≥1,000 IU of D3, or chug a
Tbsp of cod liver oil every morning
With her assistance, market growth of vitamin D
supplements reached triple digits
– In 2005-2006, 37% of people in the US
reported use of dietary supplement
containing vitamin D
– $366 million in 2009

What did we Know about Calcium and
Vitamin D and Fractures when WHI was
initiated?• Little benefit of CaD in preventing bone loss at
menopause but beneficial in older women.
• Data regarding CaD and hip and other fractures not
conclusive.
− One study in a French Nursing home showed a
benefit of Vitamin D for hip fracture
− BUT NO
− Participants were all Vitamin D deficient.

Background: CAD and Colon and
Rectal Cancer• Studies suggested higher calcium and vitamin D
intakes may:
− Lower risk of colorectal cancer
− Lower risk of polyp recurrence
• Randomized trials found calcium supplements:
− Lowered risk of polyp recurrence
• No large randomized trials on CaD supplementation
and prevention of colorectal cancer

• NIH Consensus Development Conference (1994)
− 1,000-1,500 mg /day calcium
− 400 IU Vitamin D
What were the Calcium and Vitamin D
Guidelines when WHI started?
300 mg Ca in 1 Cup

CaD Trial Objectives
• To examine the effect of CaD on:
- Hip fractures (Primary)
- Total Fractures (Secondary)
- Colorectal Cancer (Secondary)
• Hypotheses: Women randomized to CaD will have a
lower risk of each outcome
• Examine the effect of adherence
• (Do you actually take your study medication)

CaD Intervention
• Randomly assigned to supplement or
placebo
• Each active tablet 500 mg calcium (as
CaCO3) and 200 IU vitamin D
• Two tablets per day
− Divided dose; with meals
• Chewable or swallowable choice

13 % Lower risk Of Spine
fracture, the most common
fracture associated with
osteoporosis

Conclusions
• Daily CaD supplementation for an average of 7 years
did not prevent hip fractures or colorectal cancer
• Sensitivity Analyses
• Adherent women: 21 % lower Hip Fracture
• Older women: beneficial effect for hip fracture
• Longer duration of CaD use may be beneficial
• Continued follow-up over an additional 5 years: 13 %
Lower Spine fracture
• Analyses continuing
