New study links vitamin D deficiency to cardiovascular disease and death
A new study by researchers at the Heart Institute at Intermountain Medical Center in Salt Lake City suggests that Vitamin D contributes to a strong and healthy heart as well – and that inadequate levels of the vitamin may significantly increase a person’s risk of stroke, heart disease, and death, even among people who’ve never had heart disease. This article provides a synopsis of this study that will be presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Conference on Monday, Nov. 16 in Orlando, Florida.
