 Several studies have shown that patients with asthma have low levels of the vitamin D metabolite, 25-D.(({{pubmed>long:19179486}})) (({{pubmed>long:19365260}})) While some in the medical community have been quick to conclude this suggests a need for supplementation, supplemental vitamin D [[home:pathogenesis:vitamind#supplemental_vitamin_d_tends_to_be_immunosuppressive|interferes with the immune response]] precisely when it needs to respond to microbes and may therefore contribute to asthma. Several studies have shown that patients with asthma have low levels of the vitamin D metabolite, 25-D.(({{pubmed>long:19179486}})) (({{pubmed>long:19365260}})) While some in the medical community have been quick to conclude this suggests a need for supplementation, supplemental vitamin D [[home:pathogenesis:vitamind#supplemental_vitamin_d_tends_to_be_immunosuppressive|interferes with the immune response]] precisely when it needs to respond to microbes and may therefore contribute to asthma.

 +Hansen //et al.//  study with 965 pregnant women enrolled in 1988-1989 does not provide support for a protective effect of a high maternal 25(OH)D concentration on outcomes of allergic airway disease and lung function at 20 to 25 years of age. In contrast, a high maternal 25(OH)D concentration might be associated with an increased risk of allergic diseases in offspring.  (({{pubmed>long:25649083}}))
  
 Hyppönen //et al.// performed a retrospective cohort study of 7,648 Finnish infants born in 1967. The prevalence of asthma at age 31 years was 35% higher in participants who had received vitamin D supplementation regularly during the first year compared to others.(({{pubmed>long:15699498}})) A stronger relationship between cod liver oil supplementation (which is high in vitamin D) and asthma was likewise identified in an Australian study.(({{pubmed>long:20880353}})) Hyppönen //et al.// performed a retrospective cohort study of 7,648 Finnish infants born in 1967.
