Vitamin D reduces the rate of severe asthma attacks

摘要

Vitamin D supplementation can reduce the risk of severe asthma attacks by over a third, a systematic review has found. Led by Adrian Martineau from the Asthma UK Centre for Applied Research at Queen Mary University of London, the researchers analysed results from nine placebo-controlled studies that looked at the effect of vitamin D supplementation on asthma symptom control or exacerbation risk in both children and adults.
