Vitamin D Deficiency a Risk Factor for Cardiovascular Disease?
Lee JH, O'Keefe JH, Bell D, Hensrud DD, Holick MF.
Vitamin D deficiency an important, common, and easily treatable cardiovascular risk factor?
J Am Coll Cardiol. 2008 Dec 9;52(24):1949-56.
In this latest study to come out on vitamin D, the authors discuss the largely unrecognized problem of vitamin D deficiency in the general population and review the growing body of data from epidemiologic studies suggesting that low levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D play an important role in the development of coronary risk factors and cardiovascular disease. They offer specific recommendations for monitoring and correction of vitamin D deficiency and maintenance of vitamin D levels for optimal health.
