Abstract
Background: This double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group trial assessed whether oral supplementation with 1,000, 2,000, or 3,000 IU/day vitamin D3 over one year reduces percent mammographic breast density in premenopausal women.Methods: The trial was conducted between October 2012 and June 2015, among premenopausal female volunteers from Quebec City (Quebec, Canada). Women were randomized with ratio 1:1:1:1 to one of four study arms (1,000, 2,000, or 3,000 IU/day vitamin D3 or placebo). The primary outcome was mean change in percent mammographic breast density. Participants and research team were blinded to study arm assignment.Results: Participants (n = 405) were randomized to receive 1,000 (n = 101), 2,000 (n = 104), or 3,000 IU/day (n = 101) vitamin D3, or a placebo (n = 99). The primary analysis included 391 participants (96, 99, 100, and 96, respectively). After the one-year intervention, mean ± SE change in percent breast density in the arms 1,000 IU/day (-5.5% ± 0.5%) and 2,000 IU/day (-5.9% ± 0.5%) vitamin D3 was similar to that in the placebo arm (-5.7% ± 0.5%) (P values = 1.0). In the 3,000 IU/day vitamin D3 arm, percent breast density also declined but slightly less (-3.8% ± 0.5%) compared with placebo arm (P...Continue Reading
