original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Prevalence of Vitamin D Inadequacy in Athletes: A Systematic- Review and Meta-Analysis
Sports Med. 2015 Mar;45(3):365-7823 studies (n = 2313, 4 randomized control trials, 18 cross-sectional/cohort observational studies and 1 cross-sectional study with a nested RCT) were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the prevalence of inadequate vitamin D in athletes and to investigate the association between vitamin D inadequacy and injury. Pooled analysis revealed that 56% of athletes were vitamin D inadequate. The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiently was found to be significantly greater at higher latitudes, during winter and spring seasons and for indoor sporting activities. It was noted that 43% of athletes experienced injuries, but its association with vitamin D inadequacy remains unclear.
