TL;DR: Blood samples taken in 1974 in Washington County, Maryland, from 25 620 volunteers were used to investigate the relation of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) with subsequent risk of getting colon cancer, and results are consistent with a protective effect of serum 20 ng/ml on colon cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
