Summary

This study looked at whether adding extra vitamin D to the formula of preterm infants (born 28-34 weeks) helps them reach healthy vitamin D levels and improves bone health. 39 babies participated, receiving either standard or extra vitamin D in their formula. The main goal was to measure vitamin D levels in the blood and check bone status at around 52 weeks after the mother's last period.
