Low Vitamin D Levels and Asthma

A new study was done in equatorial Costa Rica indicating children may be a higher risk for developing asthma.

John Brehm, the lead author from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, wrote,"In these Children, lower Vitamin D levels are associated with increased markers of allergy and asthma severity.”

The study also reported that low Vitamin D levels in these children also indicated increased frequency of hospitalization.

They also wrote,“ 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.”
