Relationship Between Vitamin D Levels with In-Hospital Complications and Morphofunctional Recovery in a Cohort of Patients After Severe COVID-19 Across Different Obesity Phenotypes
Vitamin D deficiency was associated with longer hospital stays, longer VMI requirement, worse muscle health, and a higher degree of systemic inflammation. Furthermore, normal vitamin D levels at the end of the follow-up were associated with better morphofunctional recovery in postcritical COVID-19, particularly in patients with sarcopenic obesity partly due to a higher degree of inflammation as a result of a longer hospital stay.
