The complicated relationship of vitamin D and disease.
How Vitamin D Status & Body Composition Impact Your Cancer Risk Evidence suggests that increasing your vitamin D intake can help reduce your risk of developing cancer and autoimmune diseases , but a JAMA cohort study indicates this seemingly simple solution isn't so cut and dried. According to the research, body composition plays a massive role in how much vitamin D your body actively circulates—and, subsequently, impacts the cancer research previously determined.
These included: The cohort study analyzed a subset of 16,515 participants from the VITAL study and found that vitamin D levels increased less over a two-year period in participants with higher BMI. Researchers hypothesize that this is due to a blunted metabolism and lowered amount of circulating vitamin D in the blood in individuals with overweight or obesity.
