- ljhsiung 6y agoI think the jury's still out on whether the link is causal or correlated, and that study in particular is under controversy. Personally, I think its just because higher Vitamin D levels mean you generally go out more, which is associated with general fitness levels.
- collyw 6y agoI am leaning towards the opposite conclusion based on three things I have heard. I have heard vitamin D described as a "modulator for the immune system" (isn't the problem with Covid that your immune system is overreacting?). Also I know that its a factor in Multiple Sclerosis, which is an autoimmune disease. Also things like flu infect / kill more people in winter- when people will be getting less sun, and so have less vitamin D.
