Material and Method: The systematic review of 10 scientific articles was analyzed according to the GRADE scale to determine their strength and quality of evidence; 80% (8/10) correspond to the methodological design of methodological review; 10% (1/10) to meta-analysis and clinical studies, respectively. Results: Of the articles reviewed, 70% show the effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation in preventing respiratory infections in children; 20% do not provide evidence of the effectiveness of vitamin D in preventing respiratory infections in children, and 10% state that further studies are needed to investigate the effects of vitamin D supplementation in preventing respiratory infections. Conclusions: Of the 10 articles systematically reviewed, 7 provide evidence of the effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation in preventing respiratory infections in children; 2 do not provide evidence of the effectiveness of vitamin D in preventing respiratory infections in children, and 1 study concludes that larger studies are needed to investigate the effects of vitamin D supplementation in preventing respiratory infections.
