Cross-sectional associations of vitamin D status with asthma prevalence, exacerbations, and control in New Zealand adults
2019, Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology25-Hydroxyvitamin D concentrations, asthma and eczema in childhood: The generation R study
2018, Clinical NutritionCitation Excerpt :Therefore, the inconsistency with our findings might be explained by residual confounding. In addition, Keet et al. [42] found the association between vitamin D and wheezing to vary by age, suggesting an age-dependent relationship. Our results show that lower vitamin D levels are associated with an increased risk of eczema, but only in Western children and not in non-Western children.
Endotoxin exposure, serum Vitamin D, asthma and wheeze outcomes
2016, Respiratory MedicineVitamin D as an adjunctive therapy in asthma. Part 2: A review of human studies
2015, Pulmonary Pharmacology and TherapeuticsCitation Excerpt :Additionally, a cross-sectional analysis of 650 mainly black, smokers revealed that there was no relationship between 25(OH)D and cathelicidin levels, but that lung function decrements were associated with low cathelicidin and were greatest among individuals with lower 25(OH)D levels [99]. Supporting the idea that vitamin D is important in asthmatic and atopic disease, inverse associations between 25(OH)D and allergy [58,83,148] as well as asthma [107,58,88] have also been reported. However, other reports suggest that dietary vitamin D [127] and serum 25(OH)D concentrations [147] were not related to FEV1 and that risk for atopic disease, including allergic rhinitis [181] and eczema [71] was higher with increased 25(OH)D. Taken together, most but not all existing epidemiological reports suggest that 25(OH)D may be an important and modifiable variable in the maintenance of lung health.
Higher energy efficient homes are associated with increased risk of doctor diagnosed asthma in a UK subpopulation
2015, Environment InternationalCitation Excerpt :The observed association between increased energy efficiency may be a result of inadequate heating and ventilation in draft proofed domiciles, which is required to maintain adequate IAQ and other risk factors in adult populations. These may include vitamin D deficiency being a risk factor for allergic disorders and immune mechanisms (Keet et al., 2011) BMI, smoking, diet, metabolites and lifestyle (Thorburn et al., 2014), housing characteristics, which are important determinants of health (Jacobs et al., 2009). Occupants residing in a low ventilated home may also be more likely to be exposure to increased concentrations of other physical, chemical and biological agents.
