abstract = {Recent meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs)
have demonstrated significant reduction of cancer mortality
by vitamin D supplementation. We estimated costs and savings
for preventing cancer deaths by vitamin D supplementation of
the population aged 50+ years in Germany. Our analysis is
based on national data on cancer mortality in 2016. The
number of preventable cancer deaths was estimated by
multiplying cancer deaths above age 50 with the estimated
proportionate reduction of cancer mortality derived by
vitamin D supplementation according to meta-analyses of RCTs
$(13\%).$ Saved costs were estimated by multiplying this
number by estimated end-of-life cancer care costs
(€40,000). Annual costs of vitamin D supplementation were
estimated at 25€ per person above age 50. Comprehensive
sensitivity analyses were conducted. In the main analysis,
vitamin D supplementation was estimated to prevent almost
30,000 cancer deaths per year at approximate costs of €900
million and savings of €1.154 billion, suggesting net
savings of €254 million. Our results support promotion of
supplementation of vitamin D among older adults as a cost
saving approach to substantially reduce cancer mortality.},
