Does Corona prove fatal for people with vitamin D deficiency?
New York, May 13, 2020, Wednesday
Scientists in the United States have claimed that coronaviruses are more deadly to people with vitamin D deficiency than others. For this, the data of some of the people who died from the corona virus around the world were analyzed. In addition to the US, data from China, France, Germany, Iran, South Korea, Spain and Britain were studied in a study by Northwestern University in the US. Professor Vadim Beckman of the research team and his team wanted to do comparative research on the world's health care system during the Corona virus. He disagreed with linking the corona and mortality to the number of tests and the average life expectancy of the country. Beckman says none of these reasons seem important.
Northern Italy's healthcare system is considered to be of the highest quality in the world. There was also a big difference in the mortality of people of the same age. He also studied the mortality rates of countries that had tested the same corona, which was clearly related to vitamin D deficiency. There was a direct relationship between vitamin D levels and cytokines. Cytotine is a group of micro-proteins that cells use to give signals. This condition can be fatal even if the immune system overreacts to cytokines.
In many cases of corona virus, the patient's death is due to an over reaction of the immune system. According to a researcher from Northwestern University, vitamin D deficiency showed high secretion of cytokines. An increase in cytokines not only causes severe damage to the lungs but can also lead to fatal respiratory distress syndrome. This is how most of the patients of Kovid-19 died.
The virus itself does not cause much damage to the lungs, so vitamin D not only keeps the immune system healthy but also prevents it from overreacting. The biggest source of vitamin D is sunlight. In addition, milk and milk products and fish are good sources, so according to the scientists of Northwestern University, there will be more research in the world on the relationship between vitamin D and urine.
