The association of serum 25‐OH vitamin D with atopy, asthma, and lung function in a prospective study of Danish adults

Besides the important skeletal functions, it has been suggested that vitamin D is involved in the pathogenesis of allergy and asthma and related to lung function. However, previous studies are inconclusive.
