Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D and Intact Parathyroid Hormone as Functional Biomarkers of Bone Mass in Early Childhood
Among 4-y-old children in Dhaka, Bangladesh, we did not identify a 25(OH)D threshold to define vitamin D deficiency based on its association with bone mass. However, efforts to raise 25(OH)D to ≥25 nmol/L may be warranted based on the relatively strong inverse association of 25(OH)D with iPTH below this threshold. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03537443.
