Received Date: Aug 30, 2022 / Published Date: Sep 30, 2022
Abstract
An important fat-soluble vitamin called vitamin D has been linked to COVID-19, chronic illnesses, and death. Essential fat-soluble vitamin D is involved in the metabolism of calcium and bones. Recent scientific investigations have demonstrated that its shortage is linked to chronic diseases such sarcopenia, hypertension, obesity, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, cancer, coronary artery disease (CAD), infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, and other musculoskeletal issues. It should be noted that these are significant conditions in terms of morbidity and mortality. Additionally, it is predicted that one billion individuals globally suffer from vitamin D insufficiency, which is a pandemic [1,2].
