Limitations of the study
The study had numerous limitations. First, multiple ethnicities were aggregated into the single BAME group, so further subcategorization of ethnicities was not investigated.
There may be a possibility of seasonal variation in vitamin D levels though participants were all recruited in May to reduce the effect of seasonal variation. In addition, the disease severity was not considered, which may affect the interpretation of results.
My belief is that most people are unaware of their vitamin D levels, and that there are factors affecting their actual vitamin D absorption.
And no, supplements are not a magic bullet for topping off one's D levels.
Had a physical this year.
Didn’t even bother last year.
Went in for my bloodwork, and for the first time ever there was a Vitamin D level included.
Since I was okay with that, I said fine.
Level was fine, too.
Have yet to get an explanation for why that was included this year.
