Vitamin D status and asthma, lung function, and hospitalization among British adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vitamin D has been known to be associated with asthma. However, the association between vitamin D status and asthma, lung function as well as hospitalization among adults remains unclear.

Objective

To investigate the role of serum vitamin D in asthma prevalence, lung function, and asthma control in adults.

Methods

Multivariable logistic regression was applied to assess the relationship between serum vitamin D and asthma prevalence, lung function (FEV1, FVC, and FEV1/FVC), current wheeze, and asthma-linked hospitalizations in a cross-sectional study of 435,040 adults aged 37-73 years old from the UK Biobank.

Results

Compared to vitamin D deficiency, the odds of asthma were decreased by 6.4% [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 0.936; 95% CI: 0.9
