An analysis, carried out by european universities, reveals a link between the level of vitamin D in the blood and the occurrence of certain cancers such as breast or prostate cancer.

According to an analysis conducted by the university of Eastern Finland and Madrid, those who display adequate levels of vitamin D are less likely to develop certain cancers than others. The findings were published in the journal Seminars in Cancer Biology.
According to the researchers, a sufficient level of vitamin D in the blood would reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer, and leukemias and lymphomas. Conversely, a level that is too low may be associated with an increased risk of developing cancer of the breast and prostate. A lack of vitamin D may also be linked to poorer prognoses for the sick people. According to the researchers, this correlation could be explained by the fact that this vitamin is necessary for the proper functioning of the cells.

Official recommendations
As reported in La Dépêche, the authors of this study explain that it would be necessary to take into account the responsiveness to individual vitamin D. According to them, a high reactivity could be associated with a lower risk of cancer. The researchers state that 25% of the Finnish population appears to be weakly reactive. They would therefore need a higher dose of vitamin D. The Inlets details the clinical signs of vitamin D deficiency : osteomalacia (decalcification of bone), rickets, decreased muscle tone, seizures, tetany, and convulsions.
