Vitamin D deficiency is a common health problem. Vitamin D supplements are used to improve vitamin D status; however, there are contradictory data related to what doses to give and how often they should be given. Many studies have investigated the effects of vitamin D supplementation on muscle strength, but the results remain controversial. We aimed to compare the effects and safety of single high-dose with daily low-dose oral colecalciferol on 25(OH)D levels and muscle strength in postmenopausal women with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency.
Sixty healthy postmenopausal women who had serum vitamin D levels < 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L) were enrolled in the study. Group 1 (n = 32) was given daily oral dosages of 800 IU vitamin D3, and group 2 (n = 28) was given a single oral dose of 300,000 IU vitamin D3. Serum vitamin D levels and muscle strengths were measured at the beginning, 4th, and 12th week. Muscle strength tests were performed at 60° using a Biodex system 3 isokinetic dynamometer.
Pretreatment vitamin D levels did not differ between the two groups (10.2 ± 4.4 ng/mL (25,4 ± 10,9 nmol/L); 9.7 ± 4.4 ng/mL (24,2 ± 10,9 nmol/L), p > 0.05). A significant increase in vitamin D levels was observed in both groups at 4 and 12 weeks after vitamin D3 treatment. The increase in the single-dose group was significantly higher than the daily low-dosage group at the 4th week (35.9 ± 9.6 ng/mL (89,6 ± 23,9 nmol/L), 16.9 ± 5.8 ng/mL (42,1 ± 14,4 nmol/L), p = 0.01). The increase in the single-dose group was significantly higher than in the daily low dosage group at the 12th week (23.4 ± 4.7 ng/mL (58,4 ± 11,7 nmol/L), 19.8 ± 7.2 ng/mL (49,4 ± 17,9 nmol/L), p = 0.049). The quadriceps muscle strength score increased significantly in the daily group at the 4th week (p = 0.038). The hamstring muscle strength score increased significantly in the daily group at the 12th week (p = 0.037).
Although daily administration routes are more effective in improving muscle strength, a single administration is more effective in increasing vitamin D levels.

维生素D缺乏是一个常见的健康问题。维生素D补充剂用于改善维生素D状况;然而,关于给予何种剂量以及给药频率的数据存在矛盾。许多研究调查了补充维生素D对肌肉力量的影响,但结果仍存在争议。我们旨在比较单次高剂量与每日低剂量口服骨化三醇对维生素D缺乏或不足的绝经后女性25(OH)D水平和肌肉力量的影响及安全性。
60名血清维生素D水平<20 ng/mL(50 nmol/L)的健康绝经后女性纳入本研究。第1组(n = 32)每日口服800 IU维生素D3,第2组(n = 28)单次口服300,000 IU维生素D3。在研究开始时、第4周和第12周测量血清维生素D水平和肌肉力量。使用Biodex系统3等速测力计在60°进行肌肉力量测试。
两组治疗前维生素D水平无差异(10.2±4.4 ng/mL(25.4±10.9 nmol/L);9.7±4.4 ng/mL(24.2±10.9 nmol/L),p>0.05)。维生素D3治疗后第4周和第12周,两组维生素D水平均显著升高。第4周时,单次给药组的升高幅度显著高于每日低剂量组(35.9±9.6 ng/mL(89.6±23.9 nmol/L),16.9±5.8 ng/mL(42.1±14.4 nmol/L),p = 0.01)。第第12周时,单次给药组的升高幅度显著高于每日低剂量组(23.4±4.7 ng/mL(58.4±11.7 nmol/L),19.8±7.2 ng/mL(49.4±17.9 nmol/L),p = 0.049)。每日给药组在第4周时股四头肌力量评分显著增加(p = 0.038)。每日给药组在第12周时腘绳肌力量评分显著增加(p = 0.037)。
虽然每日给药途径在改善肌肉力量方面更有效,但单次给药在提高维生素D水平方面更有效。
