Vitamin D Levels

Another good study showing that people with low vitamin d levels have a higher chance of dying from heart disease, cancer, and respiratory disease. Ask your family doctor or our team at Advanced Care Chiropractic and Rehab to get your levels tested!

Strong associations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations with all-cause, cardiovascular, cancer, and respiratory disease mortality in a large cohort study.

In this large cohort study, serum 25(OH)D concentrations were inversely associated with all-cause and cause-specific mortality. In particular, vitamin D deficiency [25(OH)D concentration <30 nmol/L] was strongly associated with mortality from all causes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and respiratory diseases.
