Dose-Response Relationships of Vitamin D Status and Vitamin D Intake with Health Outcomes

Dear Colleagues,

Numerous observational and intervention studies have suggested adverse health effects of poor vitamin D status and health benefits of vitamin D intake. However, 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.

The goal of this Special Issue, “Dose–Response Relationships of Vitamin D Status and Vitamin D Intake with Health Outcomes”, is to contribute to a better understanding of health effects of vitamin D status and vitamin D intake by paying adequate attention to specific dose–response relationships of vitamin D status and vitamin D intake with a variety of health outcomes, including incidence and mortality of major acute and chronic diseases.
