Vitamin D and Lung Outcomes in Elderly COVID-19 Patients

 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33668240/


 Conclusions: This study confirms that 25OH-vitamin D serum deficiency is associated with more severe lung involvement, longer disease duration and risk of death, in elderly COVID-19 patients. The detection of low vitamin D levels also in younger COVID-19 patients with less comorbidities further suggests vitamin D deficiency as crucial risk factor at any age.
