Effects of Vitamin D Supplementation in Adolescents With Asthma, Obesity and Vitamin D Deficiency.
Sponsor: Hospital Infantil de Mexico Federico Gomez
Summary
Obesity has been associated with a specific non-allergic asthma phenotype and to a deficiency of vitamin D in at least 90% of the pediatric population. Adolescents with non-allergic asthma and vitamin D deficiency have up to six times the risk \[OR: 6.2 (IC95% 2.0-21.6), p=0.002\] of having a severe asthmatic crisis and do not respond adequately to inhaled steroid treatment. To evaluate the effect of oral vitamin D3 supplementation with 50,000 IU single dose and 4,000 IU daily vs 2,000 IU daily on the Asthma Control Questionnaire score, number and incidence of asthmatic crisis, lung function, and Th17 inflammatory biomarkers in adolescents with asthma associated to obesity and vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency for three months.
