Description of intervention(s) / exposure
All measurements were taken between March and May 2017 at the Institute of Physiotherapy and Centre of Medical Innovative Research being parts of University of Rzeszow, Poland.
At first, we analyzed perinatal questionnaires at local hospitals and clinics and then selected children born of premature deliveries.
The following criteria for including into the study group were adopted: guardians’ and children’s consent for participation, birth before gestational age of 32 weeks, lack of neurologic and orthopaedic disorders. Inclusion criteria for the controls were as follows: guardians’ and children’s consent for participation, lack of neurologic and orthopaedic disorders, age matching that of the study group, birth at gestational age after 36 and before 42 weeks.
The children’s parents gave their written informed consent to their children’ participation in the study.
All the measurements were performed on the same day, starting with anthropometric measurements. Body height was measured with Seca 213 mobile stadiometer, with an accuracy of 0.1 cm. Body mass was measured using electronic scale OMRON BF 500, with an accuracy of 0.1 kg. The measurements were performed in standard conditions; children in underwear and barefoot, were standing in upright position, without bending knees. In case of all children, a basic anthropometric measures were performed and BMI was calculated.
Assessment of morphotic parameters was performed with the use of the CellDyn 1700 device (Abbott Laboratories. USA) and vitamin D3 levels in serum was performed with the use of the VIDAS® 25-OH Vitamin D Total (bioMerieux, France). The VIDAS® 25-OH Vitamin D Total assay is therefore considered suitable for assessment of vitamin D status in clinical routine.
Blood tests were performed by a nurse with 10 years of professional experience in this field.
Each participant was examined only once. The approximate duration of involvement per participant, approximately 10 minutes.

Statistical methods / analysis
analysis
We conducted statistical analysis of the collected data with the use of the Statistica 13.5 (Stat Soft, Poland). A preliminary power analysis was used to estimate a proper sample size with 0.95 % power, a=0.05, and expected effect size=0.50. The required sample would be 36 preterm children for the city of Rzeszów. To analyse the variables, we used both parametric and nonparametric tests. The choice of a parametric test was conditioned by meeting its basic assumptions, i.e. whether the distribution of the studied variables was in accordance with the normal distribution. This was verified with the Shapiro-Wilk test. For all numerical data, we calculated its descriptive statistics: the mean, the median and the standard deviation. We used the Student t-test for independent variables to assess the differences in the mean value of the numerical features in the two groups studied, or, alternatively, we used the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test. Statistical significance was assumed at p<0.05.

Summary
Brief summary
The aim of this study was to assess the vitamin D3 level and morphotic parameters of blood in children who were prematurely born at the time when they were about to start school. Children born in Rzeszów 2011 were invited to the study. The study was carried out in a group of 105 children, aged 6 years including 54 preterm children born at gestational age <32 weeks and 51 full-term children. A basic anthropometric measures and assessment of morphotic parameters and the vitamin D3 level were assessed.
We suppose that Prematurely born six year old children will have had significantly lower vitamin D3 levels in blood serum.
