Researchers from Gannan Medical University in China conducted a comprehensive study.
Their findings highlighted that individuals with vitamin D deficiency, specifically those with less than 20 ng/mL, face an increased risk of atrial fibrillation.
Notably, each 10 ng/mL increase in vitamin D levels was associated with a 5% reduction in the risk of atrial fibrillation.
This conclusion was drawn from a meticulous meta-analysis, which confirmed that vitamin D deficiency is linked to a higher risk of atrial fibrillation, while higher serum vitamin D levels are associated with a decreased risk.
The research published in Frontiers in Nutrition encompassed a review of studies conducted between 2005 and 2022, incorporating various cohorts.
However, despite these significant findings, the researchers emphasised the need for further investigation.
