Authors:Daneshkhah A, Eshein A, Subramanian H. doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.08.20058578 Abstract Objectives To investigate the possible role of Vitamin D (Vit D) deficiency via unregulated inflammation in COVID-19 complications and associated mortality. Design The time-adjusted case mortality ratio (T-CMR) was estimated as the number of deceased patients on day N divided by the number of confirmed cases [...]

Authors:LLie PC, Stefanescu S, Smith L. PMID:PMC7202265 DOI: 10.1007/s40520-020-01570-8 AbstractWHO declared SARS-CoV-2 a global pandemic. The present aim was to propose an hypothesis that there is a potential association between mean levels of vitamin D in various countries with cases and mortality caused by COVID-19. The mean levels of vitamin D for 20 European countries [...]

Authors:Marik PE, Kory P, Varon J. PMID:PMC7189189 doi: 10.1016/j.medidd.2020.100041 Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has claimed over 150,000 lives worldwide. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 results in a broad spectrum of disease, with in excess of 80% of patients having few or no symptoms. What is striking about COVID-19 is the enormous variation in [...]

The COVID-19 disease course is strikingly divergent. Approximately 80-85% of patients experience mild or no symptoms, while the remainder develop severe disease. The mechanisms underlying these divergent [...]

The world is in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. Public health measures that can reduce the risk of infection and death in addition to quarantines are desperately needed. This article reviews the roles of vitamin D in reducing the risk of respiratory tract infections, knowledge about the epidemiology of influenza and COVID-19, and how vitamin D supplementation might be a useful measure to reduce risk.

To investigate the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and its effect on adverse clinical outcomes, and parameters of immune function and mortality due to a SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Authors: Reddy P, Edwards LR. PMID: 28471760 DOI: 10.1097/MJT.0000000000000538 Abstract Background: Vitamin D and magnesium (Mg) are some of the most studied topics in medicine with enormous implications for human health and disease. Majority of the adults are deficient in both vitamin D and magnesium but continue to go unrecognized by [...]

PMID: 30415629 PMCID: PMC6425757 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1809944 Abstract Background: It is unclear whether supplementation with vitamin D reduces the risk of cancer or cardiovascular disease, and data from randomized trials are limited. Methods: We conducted a nationwide, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, with [...]
