Cumulative incidence of atopic allergy specified as atopic dermatitis, allergic asthma, and allergic rhinitis. Since IMP is a food supplement to protect from rickets we are looking at clinical symptoms of vitamin D deficiency as well and measure serum levels of calcidiol.

| Primary end point(s): Diagnosis of atopic dermatitis, allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis.;Main Objective: To study if oral supplement with vitamins A and D in infancy will increase the cumulative incidence of atopic diseases up to 6 years of age.;Secondary Objective: To study if there is a correlation between vitamin intake and serum IgE and between vitamin D intake and presence of specific IgE against aero- and food allergens. To study if serum IgE levels correlate to serum levels of 25-OH-vitD3 (calcidiol). To find out if reduced oral supplement of vitamin D in infancy will give clinical signs of vitamin D deficiency and if there is a correlation to serum levels of calcidiol. | — |
