A study from the Northern Manhattan Study has found new evidence regarding the relationship of low vitamin D levels with the incidence of atherosclerosis. Their results show that levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels will increase hardening of the intima-media thickness and carotid plaque as a result. It is delivered by a senior researcher Dr. Shonni Silverberg, from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, published in the journal Stroke in August 2011.
They also found that 25-hydroxyvitamin D was inversely with intima media thickness (beta, -0.01 per increase 10-ng/mL; P = 0.05) and carotid plaque thickness (beta, -0.10 increase per 10 - ng / mL, P = 0.03). In the model containing risk factors for heart disease and an index of mineral metabolism, 25-hydroxyvitamin D

High levels of vitamin D in the blood appear to be associated with a reduced risk of incident diabetes in people at high risk for this disease, this is according to a recent report, presented Dr. Anastassios G. Pittas and colleagues from the division of endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism, the Tufts New England Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts which was presented at the American Diabetes Association 71st Scientific Sessions. According to Drs. Pittas, vitamin D may play a role in improving diabetes by increasing insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity, and most of the evidence focuses on the beneficial effects in pancreatic beta cells.
To determine the relationship between vitamin D status and risk of incident diabetes, the researchers analyzed data from the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), three groups of studies comparing intensive lifestyle
