Abstract
Plasma 25-hydroxy-vitamin D and breast-milk calcium concentration were measured at 3 months of lactation in 60 Gambian mothers accustomed to a low calcium diet, of whom 30 were consuming a calcium supplement and 30 were receiving a placebo, and in 48 British mothers. The plasma 25-hydroxy-vitamin D concentration of the Gambian women was not affected by either calcium supplementation (supplemented, 64.4 +/- 2.5 nmol l(-1); placebo, 64.9 +/- 3.5 nmol l(-1); mean +/- SE) or season. The British average was lower (53.9 +/- 3.0 nmol l(-1), p = 0.004), owing to marked seasonal effects. The breast-milk calcium concentration was lower in The Gambia (supplemented, 5.38 +/- 0.13 mmol l(-1); placebo, 5.10 +/- 0.13 mmol l(-1); British, 6.93 +/- 0.15 mmol l(-1), p
