Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Numerous observational and intervention studies have suggested the adverse health effects of a poor vitamin D status and the health benefits of vitamin D intake. However, the results have often been inconsistent. Plausible major explanations for such inconsistency include heterogeneity in consideration of dose–response relationships in observational studies and of the target populations and dosing schemes in intervention studies.
Considering the success of the last two Special Issues, we are pleased to announce that we are launching a third Special Issue on this topic, entitled “Dose–Response Relationships of Vitamin D Status and Vitamin D Intake with Health Outcomes (3rd Edition)”. We would like to arrange another platform for scientific contributions on the matter in order to showcase new breakthrough articles in clinical nutrition science. This Special Issue maintains the same editorial line as the previous two. The goal is to contribute to a better understanding of the health effects of vitamin D status and vitamin D intake by paying significant attention to specific dose–response relationships of vitamin D status and vitamin D intake with a variety of health outcomes, including the incidence and mortality of major acute and chronic diseases.
Prof. Dr. Hermann Brenner
