Article Synopsis
- * Using national Scottish data, the study finds that individuals with five or more conditions are significantly more likely to test negative for antibodies post-vaccination and have a much higher risk of COVID-19 hospitalization or death.
- * There's a clear link showing that lower antibody levels after vaccination are associated with increased risks of severe outcomes, including hospitalization and death, indicating the importance of monitoring antibody levels in vaccinated individuals.
On a population basis, there is a gradual decline in vitamin D status (plasma 25(OH)D) throughout winter. We developed a mathematical model to predict the population winter plasma 25(OH)D concentration longitudinally, using age-specific values for 25(OH)D expenditure (25(OH)Dt), cross-sectional plasma 25(OH)D concentration and vitamin D intake (VDI) data from older (70+ years; n=492) and younger adults (18-69 years; n=448) participating in the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey. From this model, the population VDI required to maintain the mean plasma 25(OH)D at a set concentration can be derived.
