Vitamin D and omega 3 trial (VITAL), a nationwide (US), randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trialN = 25, 871consisting of,12, 786 men ≥5013, 085 women ≥5518,046 non- Hispanic white5,106 black2,152 as other racial and ethnic groupsMean age was 67.1INTERVENTIONS Vitamin D (2000 IU/day) or placeboOmega 3 fatty acids (1000 mg/day) or placeboParticipants self-reported all incident autoimmune diseases from baseline to a median of 5.3 years,these diseases were confirmed by medical record reviewIn the vitamin D armTreatment group123 developed an autoimmune diseasePlacebo group155 developed an autoimmune diseaseHazard ratio 0.78P = 0.05In the omega 3 fatty acids armTreatment group130 developed an autoimmune diseasePlacebo group148 developed an autoimmune diseaseP=0.19CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D supplementation for five yearswith or without omega 3 fatty acids, reduced autoimmune disease by 22%Omega 3 fatty acid supplementationwith or without vitamin D,reduced the autoimmune disease rate by 15%(not statistically significant)The clinical importance of this trial is high because these are well tolerated, non-toxic supplements, and other effective treatments to reduce the incidence of autoimmune diseases are lacking Autoimmune diseasesRheumatoid arthritisPolymyalgia rheumaticaHashimoto’s thyroiditis, too little thyroid hormone)PsoriasisType 1 diabetes mellitusMultiple sclerosisLupusInflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s Ulcerative colitis)Addison’s (too little of cortisol)Grave’s (too much thyroid hormone), Myasthenia gravisPernicious anemiaAutoimmune vasculitisCeliac disease (gluten protein from
