The striking findings suggest that vitamin D deficiency could place millions of children at risk for high blood pressure and other risk factors for heart disease. The study is published today in the online version of Pediatrics. http://www.huliq.com/11/84402/7-10-us-children-have-vitamin-d-deficiency#comments Health child health vitamin D Vitamin D deficiency Mon, 03 Aug 2009 01:38:28 -0500 harminka 84402 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/81374/vitamin-d-deficiency-linked-alzheimers-disease There are several risk factors for the development of Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. Based on an increasing number of studies linking these risk factors with Vitamin D deficiency, an article in the current issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease by William B. Grant, PhD of the Sunlight, Nutrition, and Health Research Center suggests that further investigation of possible direct or indirect linkages between Vitamin D and these dementias is needed. http://www.huliq.com/11/81374/vitamin-d-deficiency-linked-alzheimers-disease#comments Health Alzheimer's disease dementia vitamin D Tue, 26 May 2009 11:29:32 -0500 harminka 81374 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/81251/vitamin-d-deficiency-linked-vaginal-infection-pregnant-women Pregnant women with low levels of vitamin D may be more likely to suffer from bacterial vaginosis (BV) – a common vaginal infection that increases a woman's risk for preterm delivery, according to a University of Pittsburgh study.
