What This Study Did, in Plain Language
What Was Tested
Researchers studied Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc in the context of low blood pressure and orthostatic hypotension in this randomized controlled trial publication.
This study was performed to assess the effects of vitamin D3 and calcium supplementation on anthropometric measurements and blood pressure in vitamin D insufficient people with type 2 diabetes.
Why It Was Studied
Therefore, finding a way to control obesity can be useful for management of diabetes.
Who Took Part
By PubMed's age tags, the people studied were adults and middle-aged adults, both men and women.
One hundred eighteen patients with diabetes were enrolled in this randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial.
How the Study Was Run
The design is described as randomized and placebo-controlled.
Because people in this Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc study were split into groups at random, differences between the groups are less likely to reflect who happened to join each one.
Some participants received a placebo instead of Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc, giving a reference point.
What Was Measured
The subject headings attached to it are Anthropometry, Blood Pressure, Body Mass Index, Body Weights and Measures, Calcium, Dietary, Cholecalciferol and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2.
Author keywords: anthropometric measurements, type 2 diabetes and vitamin D.
What This Means in Plain Language
