Vitamin D is one of the most essential vitamins for our health, and is also one of the most common vitamins people are deficient in. Anyone with a chronic disease should have their vitamin D levels checked by their doctor and take supplements if they are found to be deficient. According to prevention.com, low levels of vitamin D can contribute to many different health conditions and slow down the healing process for others.

Breast Cancer Breast cancer patients who have normal levels of vitamin D are twice as likely as those with low levels to survive the disease. There is also a correlation between other cancer patients’ survival rate and their vitamin D levels. Aggressive Prostate Cancer A study found that men with low levels of vitamin D were four to five times more likely to have aggressive prostate cancer than those with healthy levels. Alzheimer’s Disease Vitamin D deficiency has also been linked to an elevated risk of developing dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. The risk of Alzheimer’s increases the lower your vitamin D levels are. As you age, skin becomes less adept at turning the sun’s rays into vitamin D so you’re more likely to have a deficiency, increasing your risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s later in life. Depression People with low levels of vitamin D are twice as likely to develop depression. Researchers believe that areas in the brain responsible for controlling mood have receptors for vitamin D, so not receiving enough vitamin D may lead to these areas under-performing.

Heart Disease People with low levels of the vitamin are 32 percent more likely to develop heart disease and it’s 20 percent more likely that the disease will affect multiple vessels in the heart. Researchers say that healthy levels of vitamin D may help reduce inflammation in the body and decrease the risk of developing heart disease. Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s Disease It’s thought that a lack of vitamin D could increase the risk of developing neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis and may also be responsible for speeding up the progression of these conditions. Pneumonia Pneumonia has also been linked with vitamin D deficiency and while healthy people can fight off the disease, it could be extremely life-threatening for anyone who has a chronic lung disease such as pulmonary hypertension, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis or COPD.

Debljina uzrokuje manjak vitamina D Poznato je da debjina utječe na utječe na razvoj dijabetesa tipa 2, srčanih bolesti i određenih oblika raka U nedavnom izdanju časopisa PLoS Medicine objavljena je studija koja upozorava da debljina može uzrokovati manjak vitamina D. Ova je studija, koju su proveli istraživači okupljeni u zajedničkoj suradnji pod imenom D-CarDia u okviru Britanske zaklade za srce (British Heart Foundation), prva povezala visok indeks tjelesne mase (BMI) s niskim razinama vitamina D. Studija je obuhvatila više od 42.000 ljudi iz 21 zemlje, a unutar nje istraživači su pokušali prepoznati sve genetske varijacije kojr bi mogle biti povezane s indeksom tjelesne mase i vitaminom D kako bi bili sigurni da nijedan drugi čimbenik nije utjecao na rezultate. Visok indeks tjelesne mase povezan s niskim razinama vitamina D Istraživači su otkrili da je povezanost između visokog indeksa tjelesne mase i niskih razina vitamina D svojstvena svim demografskim skupinama. Svako povećanje indeksa tjelesne mase za 10 posto uzrokovalo je padom razine vitamina D od 4,2 posto. „Pokazali smo da je povezanost između indeksa tjelesne mase i vitamina D prisutna kod svih bijelaca Sjeverne Amerike i Europe bez obzira na dob ili spol. Dokazali smo i da povećanje indeksa tjelesne mase dovodi do smanjenja vitamina D, a time i da pretilost predstavlja rizik za nedostatak vitamina D", izjavili su autori, podsjećajući kako je vitamin D nužan za zdravlje kostiju i sprečavanje bolesti poput raka, dijabetesa i visokog krvnog tlaka. Nedavno istraživanje provedeno na Sveučilištu u Kopenhagenu otkrilo je kako niske razine vitamina D mogu povećati rizik obolijevanja od srčanih bolesti i prerane smrti. „Naša studija ističe nužnost povećanja razine vitamina D kod pretilih osoba, kao i važnost praćenja i tretiranja nedostatka vitamina D kako bi se smanjili nepovoljni učinci pretilosti na zdravlje. Smanjenje pretilosti u populaciji trebalo bi dovesti i do smanjenja učestalosti nedostatka vitamina D", izjavili su autori istraživanja. Debljina i niske razine vitamina D povezane su s rizikom od dijabetesa Moguće je i da bi pretilost mogla utjecati, osim na smanjenje razine vitamina D, i na razvoj dijabetesa tipa II. Istraživači su otkrili da je rizik za razvoj inzulinske rezistencije veći kod osoba koje su i pretile i imaju nizak vitamin D, nego kod osoba kod kojih je samo jedan od tih dvaju čimbenika izražen. Shaum Kabadi i njegov tim sa Sveučilišta Dextrel otkrili su kako pretili ljudi s normalnom razinom vitamina D imaju čak 20 puta veći rizik za razvoj inzulinske rezistencije u usporedbi s ostatkom populacije. No, rizik kod pretilih ljudi s niskom razinom vitamina D veći je čak 32 puta.
