Researchers from Copenhagen University Hospital and the University of Copenhagen conducted a study involving over 4,000 residents aged 24-77 in Copenhagen.
Their research revealed a substantial correlation between higher vitamin K levels and improved lung function.
Notably, individuals with elevated vitamin K demonstrated a reduced risk of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The study employed a comprehensive approach, utilising lung function tests, blood samples, and health questionnaires to collect data.
Dr. Apostolos Bossios, commenting on the study, emphasised the potential for further research to deepen our understanding of the link.
These findings were documented in the journal ERJ Open Research, underscoring the necessity for continued investigation.
