New research that has been described as "world-first" has found that there appears to be a direct link between low levels of vitamin D and high levels of inflammation.
The study, which was carried out by the University of South Australia, examined the genetic data of 294,970 participants in the UK Biobank. It uncovered that vitamin D levels could be a key marker that may help identify people at higher risk of chronic illnesses with an inflammatory component.
The study concluded that upping vitamin D levels may help those who are suffering from chronic inflammation. The conclusion was shared by lead researcher, UniSA's Dr Ang Zhou, who said that vitamin D could help curb chronic inflammation and its related diseases.
