The Role of Vitamin D in Severity and Control of Asthma in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Children with asthma exhibit lower serum vitamin D levels compared with healthy peers, and these levels are inversely associated with asthma severity and total IgE. No consistent associations were observed with pulmonary function or asthma control. Further research is needed to determine whether correcting vitamin D deficiency can improve clinical and immunologic outcomes in pediatric asthma.
