Seasonal variation of asthma control, lung function tests and allergic inflammation in relation to vitamin D levels: a prospective annual study

Abstract

This study revealed that asthma control measures, LFTs and IgE levels were significantly related to serum vitD levels, independent from age, body mass index, inhaled corticosteroid use, sun exposure and season among asthmatic children. Vitamin D levels showed a positive correlation with Treg counts and a negative correlation with Th2 type cytokines.
