To read the full abstract: JAMA Pediatr 2018;172(7):646-654Vitamin D deficiency in infants can lead to impaired bone mineralization and rickets. Since the 1920s, vitamin D has been used to prevent and treat rickets, but the optimal supplementation dose for bone health was unclear. Similarly, potential extra-skeletal benefits of vitamin D in childhood have been inadequately explored. Ac...
