[QUOTE="Jinzang, post: 177623, member: 12925"] The paper says it is the first study to show that Vitamin D levels are associated with Covid-19 mortality. Currently I take 5000 IU of Vitamin D EOD and after reading this paper will step it up to every day. The [URL='https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3585561']abstract is at the link[/URL] and the full paper can be downloaded as a pdf there. This is a retrospective cohort study which included two cohorts (active and expired) of 780 cases with laboratory-confirmed infection of SARS-CoV-2 in Indonesia. Age, sex, co-morbidity, Vitamin D status, and disease outcome (mortality) were extracted from electronic medical records. The aim was to determine patterns of mortality and associated factors, with a special focus on Vitamin D status. Results revealed that majority of the death cases were male and older and had pre-existing condition and below normal Vitamin D serum level. Univariate analysis revealed that older and male cases with pre-existing condition and below normal Vitamin D levels were associated with increasing odds of death. When controlling for age, sex, and comorbidity, Vitamin D status is strongly associated with COVID-19 mortality outcome of cases. [/QUOTE]
