Vitamin D deficits may affect heart health.

摘要

Thomas J. Wang, MD, lead author of this study and an assistant professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School in Boston, called his team's results "quite intriguing." But Wang is also quick to note that his study found an association between vitamin D deficiency and cardiovascular disease but-was not designed to uncover cause and effect."We did not look at whether supplementation is associated with lower cardiovascular risk," Wang noted. "We can-no t automatically assume that raising the level of vitamin D will lower the cardiovascular disease risk."
