Description
Qiang Zou and four co-authors link vitamin D, gut-friendly eating, and death risk in a large United States cohort. Their 2025 study uses survey data on 19,278 adults gathered from 2005 to 2018. A diet score stands in for gut microbe health, built from one-day food recalls rather than direct microbe reads.
Higher levels of vitamin D and its close chemical kin each tied to a clearly lower risk of death from any cause. The gut diet score also pointed the safe way, with the top group at about a fifth lower risk. A mediation check found the diet score carried under a tenth of the vitamin's total link. The authors frame vitamin D and diet as separate, stackable supports for long life. Subgroup checks varied the picture by age and disease history.
