Vitamin D and omega 3 trial (VITAL), a nationwide (US), randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial N = 25, 871 consisting of, 12, 786 men ≥50 13, 085 women ≥55 18,046 non- Hispanic white 5,106 black 2,152 as other racial and ethnic groups Mean age was 67.1 INTERVENTIONS Vitamin D (2000 IU/day) or placebo Omega 3 fatty acids (1000 mg/day) or placebo Participants self-reported all incident autoimmune diseases from baseline to a median of 5.3 years, these diseases were confirmed by medical record review In the vitamin D arm Treatment group 123 developed an autoimmune disease Placebo group 155 developed an autoimmune disease Hazard ratio 0.78 P = 0.05 In the omega 3 fatty acids arm Treatment group 130 developed an autoimmune disease Placebo group 148 developed an autoimmune disease P=0.19 CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D supplementation for five years with or without omega 3 fatty acids, reduced autoimmune disease…
