More evidence that Vitamin D deficiency is linked to the risk of death.
Another study has found that low 25- hydroxyvitamin D levels (25) OH) D) seem to be linked to an increased risk of death, in a nationaly represenative cohort (1). Dr. Michael L. Melamed
(Albert Einsstien College of Medicine, Bronx,N.Y.) and his colleagues report their findings in the August 11/25 2008 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Dr. Melamed states this is one of the largest studies, 13,000 people, followed for an average of eight years, the first study to explore the association betweem vitamin- d levels and mortality in the overall population.
