Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.To identify the optimal oral dose of Vitamin D (daily vs monthly) to bring and maintain serum 25(OH)D levels in the target range (20-30ng/dl) among India adults. 2. To evaluate the impact of VD supplemetation on serum parathyroid hormone and bone mineral parameters Timepoint: Baseline, 12 weeks post supplementation, post washout phase (24 weeks) and 36 weeks post supplementation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To evaluate any non-skeletal benefits of VD supplementation and subsequent normalization of serum 25(OH)D in ameliorating abnormal glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and hypertension.Timepoint: Baseline, 12 weeks post supplementation, post washout phase (24 weeks) and 36 weeks post supplementation.
