Introduction: British Army recruits suffer from musculoskeletal injuries (MSI) during initial training. Up to 10% suffer skeletal stress fracture (SFx) resulting in lost training days and medical attrition. There is evidence to suggest that vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in the army. Our aim was to determine vitamin D metabolites (VDM) in recruits upon starting training, and health outcomes after a 14-week training programme.Methods: ...

We investigated the association between vitamin D metabolites and incidence of lower body (pelvis and lower limb) overuse musculoskeletal and bone stress injury in 1637 men and 530 women (22.6 &pm; 7.5 years), undergoing 12 weeks initial military training. We measured serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (24,25(OH)2D) by high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) by...
