Vitamin D could be a piece of COVID-19's 'complex puzzle', Israeli scientists say, after a new study finds a link between deficiency and severe illness
A study published Thursday in research journal PLOS One found that about half of people who were vitamin D deficient before getting COVID-19 developed severe illness, compared to less than 10% of people who had sufficient levels of the vitamin in their blood.
We know vitamin D is vital for bone health, but its role in protecting against severe COVID-19 is less-well established.
The latest research was the first to examine vitamin D levels in individuals prior to them contracting COVID-19, the study authors said.
