Asthma Increased by a Vitamin D deficiency?

A new study indicates children with low Vitamin D levels not only may be at risk for asthma but also that they end up in the hospital more often. This study from Costa Rica found that the children in this study who had lower Vitamin D levels "are associated with increased markers of allergy and asthma severity."

This study, published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care medicine, said," A log of 10 unity increase in Vitamin D levels was associated with reduced odds of any hospitalization in the previous year, any use of anti-inflammatory medications in the previous year, and increased airway responsiveness."
