I don’t want to add a layer of Jeff Goldblum speculation to the Vitamin D debate, but we have long known that vitamin D deficiency is more prevalent in patients with obesity. Vit D deficiency => Obesity => Severe #COVID19?

肥満だとビタミンDの血中濃度が下がる。 脂溶性ビタミンだから脂肪組織に分布してしまうのでしょうか? 肥満とビタミンD不足は相互に関係しているようです。 干しシイタケ食べたり、日光に当たったりとビタミンDを増やす行動はダイエットに良い影響があるのかも? https://t.co/fk0Lg6eutj https://t.co/qB9dpaMJtY

@RMConservative Vitamin D deficiency occurs in obesity. Obese people have higher risk of a poor outcome from Covid-19. This is correlation, not causation. Pereira‐Santos et al. "Obesity and vitamin D deficiency: a systematic review and meta‐analysis." Obesity reviews 16, no. 4 (2015): 341-349.

ビタミンD欠乏は、肥満とも密接に関係してるよ!という23件の研究をメタ分析した論文を発見。研究によると肥満を経験している人は、ビタミンD欠乏症の有病率が35%高いらしい。コロナのリスクを下げたい、太りたくない、鬱、骨粗鬆症予防したい人はビタミンD取らない理由なし! https://t.co/0ItBxSVsWF https://t.co/zJklB7SK8O
