Vitamin D, asthma prevalence and asthma exacerbations: a large adult population‐based study

The impact of low vitamin D status on asthma, asthma morbidity and control is unclear. We aimed to investigate in adults the associations between serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D level and prevalent asthma as well as asthma exacerbations.
