Vitamins A and D linked to improved lung function in asthma patients

Stay up to date with notifications from The IndependentNotifications can be managed in browser preferences.AllNewsSportCultureLifestyleA study by US researchers suggests that higher levels of vitamins A and D could boost lung function in children and adults with asthma. The research, published in the journal Thorax, analysed data from 1,165 children and 1,041 adults with asthma, measuring their vitamin levels and lung capacity. The findings indicated that both children and adults with asthma who had higher vitamin A levels exhibited better lung function. Among adults with asthma, higher vitamin D levels (at least 30 ng/ml) were associated with improved lung function and less evidence of epigenetic ageing, suggesting a potential role in slowing biological ageing. Experts have cautioned that while these findings open new avenues for investigation, further studies are required to clarify the causal relationship between vitamin D, biological ageing, and lung health.
