Another important finding of the study is that it was the levels of 25-OH-D (calcifediol, a biomarker of of cholcalciferol (vit.

The fact that about 30% of US adults have vitamin D deficiency and another ~10% have vitamin D insufficiency, may be a major cause behind the recent drop in expected lifespan of US adults.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacc.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1016\/j.jacc.2008.08.050\">https:\/\/www.jacc.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1016\/j.jacc.2008.08.050<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acpjournals.org\/doi\/abs\/10.7326\/M21-3324\">https:\/\/www.acpjournals.org\/doi\/abs\/10.7326\/M21-3324<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/new-study-finds-link-between-vitamin-d-deficiency-and-premature-death\">https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/new-study-finds-link-between-vitamin-d-deficiency-and-premature-death<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;New research reveals that improving your vitamin D levels can be a matter of life or death.
