Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 is a new infectious disease linked to lower vitamin D levels, which may affect immune response during viral infections.
- A study of 126 patients in a UAE hospital found a significant correlation between vitamin D deficiency and higher mortality rates, particularly among patients with levels below 12 ng/mL.
- While older age increased severity and mortality, no strong associations were found between vitamin D levels and the need for mechanical ventilation or differences in radiological findings.
