What This Study Did, in Plain Language
What Was Tested
Researchers studied Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc in this randomized controlled trial publication.
Objective: Determine the effects of vitamin D treatment/status, feeding type, BMI, race/ethnicity, and physical activity on postpartum women's BMD to 7 months.
A general linear mixed modeling approach was undertaken to assess the effects of vitamin D status [both serum 25(OH)D concentrations and treatment groups], feeding type, race/ethnicity, BMI, and physical activity on BMD in postpartum women.
Why It Was Studied
Background: Few studies evaluate the effects of vitamin D status and supplementation on maternal bone mineral density (BMD) during lactation and further lack inclusion of diverse racial/ethnic groups, body mass index (BMI), or physical activity.
Who Took Part
The age groups tagged for this paper are young adults and adults, women only.
Participant hip, spine, femoral neck, and whole-body BMD using Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA Hologic), serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] (RIA; Diasorin), BMI, and physical activity were measured at 1, 4, and 7 months postpartum.
How the Study Was Run
In design terms this was a randomized study.
The participants were allocated by chance, so the Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc group and the comparison group should start out alike.
What Was Measured
Background: Few studies evaluate the effects of vitamin D status and supplementation on maternal bone mineral density (BMD) during lactation and further lack inclusion of diverse racial/ethnic groups, body mass index (BMI), or physical activity.
