Evaluation of the Relationship Between Vitamin D Deficiency and The Epidemiology of Covid-19 |Biomedgrid

Covid-19 infectious disease appeared in 2019 and soon spread worldwide. The most important symptom of death is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Factors associated with the worse prognosis of Quid-19 include age, ethnicity, gender, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure, and these factors are associated with vitamin D deficiency or response.[1] As we know that vitamin D can affect the immune system, we decided to evaluate the effect of vitamin D on the severity of SARS-Kovi-2 infection. Two studies found no evidence to support the effect of vitamin D deficiency on the severity of Quid-19, and there was no evidence of a protective effect of vitamin D against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Also, the other 2 studies can be limited. But most studies have found a significant association between vitamin D deficiency and the severity of Covid-19 disease. They found that vitamin D affects phosphate and magnesium metabolism, which may play an important role in the pathogenesis of Covid 19[2].
