Low vitamin D and risk of bacterial pneumonias: Mendelian randomisation studies in two population-based cohorts.

Thorax - 1 May 2021

Çolak Yunus, Nordestgaard Børge G, Afzal Shoaib

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Vitamin D may regulate the innate immune system, and randomised controlled trials suggest a beneficial effect of vitamin D supplementation against acute respiratory tract infections. By using a Mendelian randomisation approach, we tested the hypothesis that low 25-hydroxyvitamin D is associated with increased risk of bacterial pneumonia in observational and genetic analyses. METHODS: We genotyped...
