Abstract in brief

The study analyzed the link between vitamin D levels and respiratory issues like asthma, bronchitis, wheezing, and chest tightness in over 5000 adults aged 45-69, finding that lower vitamin D (below 50 nmol/L) was significantly associated with increased respiratory symptoms.
Even after accounting for factors such as age, sex, season, smoking, body mass index, physical activity, and chronic diseases, the connection between low vitamin D and respiratory problems remained strong, with those having levels below 50 nmol/L being at higher risk.
Additionally, higher vitamin D levels (above 100 nmol/L) were linked to better lung function measurements, suggesting that maintaining adequate vitamin D could support respiratory health and lung capacity.]
