Low Vitamin D May Be Linked To Higher Asthma Risk In Kids, Study Suggests.

reports that research suggests children “who don’t get enough vitamin D may be at increased risk for asthma.” Investigators found that “children with vitamin D insufficiency were 1.35 times more likely to have asthma compared with children with adequate levels of vitamin D.” Meanwhile, “adults with vitamin D insufficiency were not at increased risk for an asthma diagnosis, but they were more likely to say they experienced wheezing in the past year, compared with those who had adequate levels of vitamin D.” The findings were presented at the meeting of the American Public Health Association in Denver. http://www.livescience.com/56794-vitamin-d-asthma.html
