Journal ArticleDOI
Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D, Diabetes, and Ethnicity in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
TL;DR: An inverse association between vitamin D status and diabetes, possibly involving insulin resistance, in non-Hispanic whites and Mexican Americans is shown and may reflect decreased sensitivity to vitamin D and/or related hormones such as the parathyroid hormone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hollis,Christel Lamberg-Allardt,John J. McGrath,John J. McGrath,Anthony W. Norman,Robert Scragg,Susan J. Whiting,Walter C. Willett,Armin Zittermann +16 more
TL;DR: There is now strong evidence that increasing vitamin D intake will lower risk of falling and lower fracture risk in older men and women and regulatory agencies in the United States and abroad should review the evidence and reassess their dietary recommendations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin d and pulmonary function in the third national health and nutrition examination survey.
Peter N. Black,Robert Scragg +1 more
TL;DR: There is a strong relationship between serum concentrations of 25-hydroxy vitamin D, FEV1, and FVC and further studies are necessary to determine whether supplementation with vitamin D is of any benefit in patients with respiratory disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, ethnicity, and blood pressure in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
TL;DR: Vitamin D status, which is amenable to intervention by safely increasing sun exposure or vitamin D supplementation, was associated inversely with BP in a large sample representative of the US population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myocardial Infarction is Inversely Associated with Plasma 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 Levels: A Community-Based Study
TL;DR: The results provide support for the hypothesis that increased exposure to sunlight is protective against coronary heart disease and raised vitamin D3 levels was observed in all seasons.
