Short Communication: Vitamin D and COVID-19 infection and mortality in UK Biobank	2020-06-28		.txt	text/plain	995	62	49	We aimed to establish whether blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration was associated with COVID-19 mortality, and inpatient confirmed COVID-19 infection, in UK Biobank participants. Conclusions Our findings do not support a potential link between vitamin D concentrations and risk of severe COVID-19 infection and mortality. 2 Despite the sparse evidence on vitamin D in COVID-19, 3 the UK government is now leading an urgent review into whether there is any link, 4 and the Welsh COVID-19 risk assessment tool already includes vitamin D supplementation as part of its recommendations. 6 Lower vitamin D concentration and vitamin D deficiency were both associated with higher risk of COVID-19 death univariably, but not after adjustment for potential confounders. Vitamin D insufficiency was not associated with risk of COVID-19 death univariably or multivariably. Again, vitamin D concentration and vitamin D deficiency were associated with COVID-19 infection univariably but not multivariably (Table) .	./cache/cord-343249-npk92gra.txt	./txt/cord-343249-npk92gra.txt
