Low vitamin D increases death risk
Low vitamin D increases death risk by 36 per cent
The study using a Mendelian randomization approach, analysed data from 307,601 individuals in the UK Biobank who were aged 37-73 years at baseline
The results found that a Vitamin D deficiency, being less than 50nmol/L, increases mortality risk by 36% compared to those in the normal range.
Also, the study reported that any increase in vitamin D blood levels even slightly could decrease the risk.
The reported ideal blood level of [25-(OH)D] vitamin D should be between 50nmol/l and 75nmol/l
Elevating vitamin D levels above 75 nmol/L did not give any extra benefit in this study.
This study adds to the growing data that support the need to rectify vitamin D deficiency.
