Vitamin D status modifies the response to indoor particulate matter in obese urban children with asthma

ConclusionAmong obese urban children with asthma, low individual 25-OH vitamin D enhanced adverse respiratory effects associated with indoor PM2.5. In high PM2.5 environments, 25-OH D was protective against asthma symptoms. Optimizing vitamin D status in children may help reduce asthma morbidity driven by indoor air pollution.
