Abstract

BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests a strong association between vitamin D status and asthma, with individuals exhibiting vitamin D deficiency demonstrating increased prevalence and severity of asthma symptoms. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among asthmatic children, assess the association between vitamin D status and asthma severity/control, and identify potential predictors of vitamin D deficiency in this population.
