Vitamins A And D Linked To Better Lung Function In Asthma

03 Jul 20264 min read0 viewsVerified Feed

GIST (Key Takeaways)

There are currently 13 recognized essential vitamins , two of which are A and D. Vitamin A is typically linked to eye health, while vitamin D is most closely associated with bone health .
However, both vitamins have also been linked to supporting other areas of the body, such as immune system regulation , cellular growth , and lung function . Now, a new study published in the journal Thorax has found that vitamins A and D may also help improve lung function in both children and adults with asthma , and vitamin D may also help slow biological lung cell aging in adults.
For this study, researchers analyzed health data from almost 1,200 children in the Genetic Epidemiology of Asthma in Costa Rica (GACRS) study and about 1,000 adults in the Omic Determinants of Longitudinal Lung Function in Asthma (ODOLLFA) study. Study participants had their vitamin A and D levels measured, along with an assessment of their lung health and function.
