Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Low vitamin level at baselineExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
At specific time points we will measure vitamin D status (baseline and 12-months) and re-enforcing vitamin D supplementation in those with insufficient or deficient vitamin D levels. More specifically, we will ask patients with insufficient or deficient vitamin D levels at enrollment to increase vitamin D intake by 1,000 IU units (to a maximum of 2,000 IU if the patient is already on vitamin D supplementation) for the 12 month period.
