The study showed that children with night blindness had a much greater risk of dying . The deficiency of Vitamin A that causes night blindness also making children weak and vulnerable to other diseases.They concluded that the children who did not get vitamin A were nearly twice as likely to die as the children who did. So, Vitamin-A could not only save children's sight it could save their lives
The study showed that children with night blindness had a much greater risk of dying than those who didn’t. Actually, they saw that children with this condition were dying at an alarming rate from typical childhood illnesses. The results showed that those who were not given vitamin A were nearly twice as likely to die. So they concluded that the vitamin A deficiency was not only making children blind but also making them vulnerable to other diseases that could eventually kill them.
While observing the data from the study, Dr. Sommer started to notice some coincidences. The children who suffered from night blindness, and did not received the capsule with vitamin A, died quite soon, comparing with the children that had access to the vitamin A. What triggered Dr. Sommer was the cause of death. The children who didn't take the vitamin started to died due to other diseases. He concluded that intake of vitamin A , didn't only helped with the nigh blindness, but also was a solution to prevent the appearance of other diseases, and to improve the overall health.
Dr. Sommer observed that those children who suffered night blindness (and hadn't been treated) were notoriously more likely to die in comparison to those who had been treated.
So his conclusion was that vitamin A not only cured this eye disease, it was also capable of saving lifes.
After some time studying the cure of blindness, due to the lack of vitamin A, in South Asian children, Alfred Sommer realized that this vitamin played an even more key role in their health. Analyzing the data from his studies, he noticed that those children who had not been treated from blindness were more likely to die than those treated, thus concluding that the vitamin could save their lives, apart from preventing them from going blind.
He looked at the progress of the night blind children, and saw that they were dying at an alarming rate from typical childhood illnesses. He then proposed the theory that, the vitamin A deficiency that caused night blindness, also made children weak and vulnerable to other illnesses.
To test his theory he began a trial to see if the vitamin A treatment that showed great results in children with night blindness, could also have an impact on their overall health. After seeing the results of his trial, he found that vitamin A could not only save children’s sight, it could save their lives, as it reduced the mortality rate.
While analizing the data he observed that infants who suffered from Night Blidness had a higher chance of diying than children who didn't suffer from such disease. He concluded that absence of Vitamin A is responisble for this high children death rate

he reach a conclusion that deficience of Vitamin A also have bad consecuences like get another disease and increase probabilty of dye.

Alfred Sommer concluded that a certain dose of vitamin A not only could cure night blindness, but also could prevent children from dying young.
