Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: RESULTS: Of the 30 very elderly Chinese patients who had been recruited into the study, 27 (90.0%) had their vitamin D deficiency corrected, and 26 (86.7%) reached vitamin D sufficiency. The mean time (±SD) was 3.1 (±1.3) months for vitamin D deficiency to be corrected, and 6.1 (±0.8) months for vitamin D sufficiency to be reached. The mean (±SD) serum level of 25( OH)D2 increased from 0.69 (±1.51) ng/mL to 29.07 (±5.68) ng/mL, while the mean (±SD) serum level of 25( OH)D3 decreased from 9.82 (±2.75) ng/mL to 5.30 (±3.09) ng/mL (both P < 0.001). The total T cells in serum remained unchanged (P > 0.05), and the CD4 and B cells (CD19+) were increased significantly (both P < 0.05). In addition, no significant change was observed in the serum levels of iPTH and BTMs. CONCLUSION:
