Vitamin D deficiency: a worldwide problem with health consequences. (2008, background): “Women who received 400 IU vitamin D/d were found to have a 40% reduced risk of developing multiple sclerosis (62) and rheumatoid arthritis (63).”
Vitamin D and Immune Function (2013, background): “Vitamin D supplementation in humans resulted in a reduced risk of developing MS [117] and the use of vitamin D as an add-on therapy in combination with interferon-β reduced disease activity [118].”
Estimation of optimal serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D for multiple health outcomes. (2006, background): “Weaker evidence exists of a beneficial effect of vitamin D on other diseases, including multiple sclerosis (15), tuberculosis (16), insulin resistance (17, 18), cancers other than colorectal (19–22), osteoarthritis (23, 24), and hypertension (25–27), but these diseases are not considered here.”
Prevalence and correlates of vitamin D deficiency in US adults. (2011, background): “Furthermore, vitamin D deficiency has been linked to the development of type 1 diabetes [1-3,15], multiple sclerosis [16,17], rheumatoid arthritis [18], and other autoimmune conditions [1-3,19,20].”
Environmental risk factors for multiple sclerosis. Part II: Noninfectious factors (2007, background): “The only published longitudinal studies on diet and MS risk are those based on two large cohorts of US nurses.(29) Assessment of vitamin D intake among women in these cohorts was based on comprehensive and previously validated semiquantitative food frequency questionnaires administered every 4 years”
