Description
Jaishriram Rathored and co-authors measure vitamin D in North Indian patients with hard to treat lung tuberculosis in a 2023 study. Low vitamin D has been tied to TB risk, but diet and sun habits had not been checked in this drug resistant group.
More than seven hundred people took part across three groups: resistant TB, standard TB, and healthy peers. Diet recall and sun exposure were scored for all, and blood levels were drawn. Vitamin D ran low in every group and lowest in the resistant group. Levels tracked with both diet intake and sun time, which points to food and sun as levers worth testing.
