Is low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D associated with increased risk of the development of the metabolic syndrome at five years : results from a national , population-based prospective study ( The Australian Diabetes , Obesity and Lifestyle Study : AusDiab )?
In Australian adults, lower 25(OH)D concentrations were associated with increased MetS risk and higher WC, serum triglyceride, fasting glucose, and insulin resistance at 5 yr. Vitamin D supplementation studies are required to establish whether the link between vitamin D deficiency and MetS is causal.
In urban children with asthma, increased mouse IgE, but not cockroach IgE, in the sera (mouse IgE ≥ 0.35 IU/mL) may be associated independently with rhinitis.
