Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D status and wheezing in pre-school children, Kuwait.

Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of wheezing among preschoolers in Kuwait. A possible link between low serum 25(OH)D and MTW could highlight a specific role for vitamin D in relation to atopy. Prevention and prompt management of vitamin D deficiency should be considered among infants and children with wheezing. PMID: 31054230 [PubMed - in process]
