  • Title: [Vitamin D-induced tissue calcinosis and arteriosclerosis changes. II. Current knowledge and conclusions for preventive vitamin D administration in infancy and early childhood].
    Author: Hesse V, Jahreis G.
    Journal: Padiatr Grenzgeb; 1990; 29(3):213-9. PubMed ID: 2198516.
    Abstract:
    By means of the actual literature we clear up that vitamin-D is considered to be a risk factor for arteriosclerosis. In vitamin-D-susceptible children elevated vitamin doses may--to begin with--lead to a nephrocalcinosis and--subsequently--to a coronary sclerosis. The combination of a nourishment, rich in calcium, an over-supply of vitamin-D, and high cholesterol-contents, is considered to be especially unfavourable. In order to avoid a potential danger of arteriosclerosis the rachitis-prophylaxis in infants and babies should be taken up with physiological vitamin-D-dosages.
