Vitamin D Update	2020-10-14		.txt	text/plain	5106	236	42	This review will briefly summarize fundamental, well-established aspects of vitamin D and human health and then will also discuss (a) some of the most recent work related to vitamin D and non-skeletal-associated health issues; (b) the complexity of establishing meaningful vitamin D measurement metrics and assessing vitamin D status; c)decisionmaking for obtaining vitamin D through diet, supplements, or sun exposure; (d) the impact of skin type, pigmentation, and sunscreen on vitamin D levels; and (e) evidence for a potential influence of vitamin D on the mortality and morbidity of COVID-19 through modulation of the pro-inflammatory cytokine response and respiratory response to the virus. To some extent, this is because relevant factors vary: vitamin D food fortification regulations, the strength of ambient ultraviolet radiation (UVR), levels of smog, culture and ethnicity, skin phototype, chronological age, and ease and accuracy of specific clinical laboratory measurements.	./cache/cord-254646-psolkrom.txt	./txt/cord-254646-psolkrom.txt
