Vitamin D Deficiency Causes Deficits in Lung Function and Alters Lung Structure

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Vitamin D deficiency causes deficits in lung function that are primarily explained by differences in lung volume. This study is the first to provide direct mechanistic evidence linking vitamin D deficiency and lung development, which may explain the association between obstructive lung disease and vitamin D status.
