Background: The adequate level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) in children remains unclear. For bone outcomes, parathyroid hormone (PTH) is an important functional biomarker. Prior studies have shown too weak a correlation between 25OHD and PTH levels to determine adequate 25OHD level.Objective: To determine adequate 25OHD level(s) in children using a normal PTH value of 65 pg/ml while adjusting for calcium intake.Design...
