Free, circulating vitamin D levels in the blood may be a better predictor of future health risks in aging men, according to a study being presented at e-ECE 2020. These data suggest the free, precursor form of vitamin D found ...
Over 80% of Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients Have Vitamin D Deficiency, Study Finds Vitamin D Linked to Low Coronavirus Death Rate Drinking 1% vs 2% Milk Associated With a Significant Difference in Aging Protein Levels in People’s Blood Accurately Predicts Their Age – Aging Isn’...

Children with a vitamin D deficiency will usually get 2,000 IU a day for about 6 weeks until their vitamin D levels in the blood go above 30 nanograms per milliliter. After that, they will take 1,000 IU D3 per day. Nursing infants and children who eat less than 1 liter of vitamin...
Severe vitamin D deficiency with a 25(OH)D concentration below <30 nmol/L (or 12 ng/ml) dramatically increases the risk of excess mortality, infections, and many other diseases, and should be avoided whenever possible. The data on a benefit for mortality and prevention of infections, ...
Some experts identify vitamin D deficiency—which is the most serious—as blood levels typically below 20 ng/mL while insufficiency (still far from ideal!) as typically below 30 ng/mL. Those two categories are considered low levels of vitamin D. ...
the blood can predict risk," said study author Kassandra Munger, ScD, of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston. "Our study, involving a large number ofwomen, suggests that correcting vitamin D deficiency in young and middle-age women may reduce their future risk of MS....
Blood brain barrierVascular diseaseBecause vitamin D hormone deficiency (VDHdef) can worsen severity and outcome for ischemic stroke, we examined the role of VDH in maintaining blood-brain-barrier (BBB integrity) in a rat model of stroke. In most types of stroke, the BBB is markedly ...
hsCRP = high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; VDD = vitamin D deficiency. In the validation cohort, VDD was also associated with all all-cause (HR: 3.41,P= 0.005) and cardiovascular mortality (HR: 4.93,P= 0.010) compared to those without VDD after adjustment for the aforementioned covariates...
Low vitamin D blood levels are related to many clinical outcomes in children with critically illness. However, the relationship of it and septic shock has not been systematically analyzed. The objective of this review was to evaluate the effect of vitamin D on septic shock and predict if vitamin...
