TLDR
Higher predicted plasma levels of 25(OH)D significantly reduce the risk for incident CD and nonsignificant reduction in UC in women, and there was a significant inverse association between dietary and supplemental vitamin D and UC.

Sunlight and Vitamin D: A global perspective for health

TL;DR: A three-part strategy of increasing food fortification programs with vitamin D, sensible sun exposure recommendations and encouraging ingestion of a vitamin D supplement when needed should be implemented to prevent global vitamin D deficiency and its negative health consequences.

Environmental triggers in IBD: a review of progress and evidence.

TL;DR: Environmental factors add a substantial level of complexity to the understanding of IBD pathogenesis but also promote the fundamental notion that complex diseases such as IBD require complex therapies that go well beyond the current single-agent treatment approach.

Unravelling the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease

TL;DR: Recently, substantial advances in the understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have been made owing to three related lines of investigation as mentioned in this paper, which have shown the importance of epithelial barrier function, and innate and adaptive immunity in disease pathogenesis.
