Quick Summary
In this randomized controlled trial in participants with prediabetes, supplementing with a combination of calcium and vitamin D improved sleep quality compared to a placebo.
What was studied?
Whether supplementing with vitamin D and/or calcium improves sleep quality (the primary outcome) in people with prediabetes.
Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, which comprises an overall sleep quality score, as well as 7 individual dimensions of sleep (e.g., sleep efficiency, sleep latency, sleep duration). Blood levels of calcium and vitamin D were also assessed.
