Inclusion/exclusion criteria Reviews were included if they were described as "systematic" and exhibited methods consistent with systematic reviews (i.e., defined clinical question, detailed search protocol, etc.) and reported on human prospective intervention trials sampling adults and/or children with reported ARTI. Despite several positive systematic reviews and meta-analyses, the available experimental evidence related to the effects of vitamin D on acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI) is plagued with heterogeneity and mixed quality, and therefore is insufficient to recommend vitamin D supplementation to the general population as a protective agent against ARTI.
