This study showed a significant association between vitamin D sufficiency, less severe clinical complaints, and better clinical (blood) parameters that significantly influence immune function. Additionally, a lower mortality rate was observed (9.7% in patients with sufficient vitamin D levels compared to 20% in vitamin D deficient patients). Therefore, the scientists recommend improving vitamin D levels by supplementation in the general population.
