Abstract

Background: The relationship between vitamin D levels and immune response has been a subject of considerable research interest, particularly in subtropical regions where sun exposure—a primary source of vitamin D—varies significantly. Objective: To explore the association between serum vitamin D levels and immune response markers among individuals living in a subtropical region. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 200 participants from a subtropical region. Serum vitamin D levels were measured using the 25-hydroxyvitamin D test, and immune response was assessed through the quantification of specific immune markers. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between vitamin D levels and immune response. Results: Preliminary analysis suggests a significant correlation between higher vitamin D levels and improved markers of immune response, adjusting for potential confounders. Conclusion: The findings indicate a potential link between vitamin D sufficiency and enhanced immune function in individuals residing in subtropical areas. Further research is warranted to explore the implications for vitamin D supplementation and immune health.
