A new study has found that vitamin d levels has a profound effect on the severity of illnesses suffered by those infected with the novel coronavirus.
According to Science Daily, a research team headed by Northwestern University looked into the health profiles of COVID-19 patients located around the globe, in countries ranging from China to Italy, Germany, Iran, the United States, and more.
The experts initially began their research after noting the varying mortality rates in different countries. Though other analysts had claimed that the discrepancies were due to differences in health care quality or age of population, Vadim Backman, director of Northwestern’s Center for Physical Genomics and Engineering, remained skeptical.
“None of these factors appears to play a significant role,” Backman noted, citing the fact that he believed the healthcare system in northern Italy is “one of the best in the world,” despite the massive fatalities suffered by the region.
