Parents were asked if their child had a history of respiratory infection at age 3m, or history of wheezing at age 15m and then annually thereafter. Current asthma was defined as doctor-diagnosis of asthma by age 5y, plus reported wheeze or inhaler use since age 4y [&#8230;] After adjustment for season of birth, cord blood 25(OH)D levels were inversely associated with wheeze by age 15m, 3y, and 5y (all p<0.05). The adjusted odds ratio (95%CI) for wheeze by age 5y increased across categories of cord blood 25(OH)D (75+, 25-74, and <25 nmol\/L): 1.0 (ref), 1.6 (1.1-2.3), and 2.2 (1.3-3.5). Odds of respiratory infection by age 3m showed a similar pattern: 1.0 (ref), 1.4 (1.0-2.0), and 2.2 (1.3-3.4). [...] By contrast, cord blood 25(OH)D had no association with current asthma at age 5y: 1.0 (ref), 1.2 (0.8-1.8), and 0.9 (0.5-1.6). \n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In case you still do not believe in suppressive effect of vitamin D, here is an older abstract:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/massivedoses.png\" data-rel=\"key-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/massivedoses.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"217\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1590\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-note\">\n  <span class=\"mod1\">CC-BY-NC Science Surf , accessed 06.04.2026<\/span>\n <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new abstract at the recent ATS congress now clears the 2007 controversy between the Camargo and Gale studies on the effect of vitamin D: Wheezing is not asthma (as the atopy component is missing?). &nbsp; CC-BY-NC Science Surf , accessed 06.04.2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,10],"tags":[199,83,1890,1885,1891,1888,1886,1889,1887,1287],"class_list":["post-1589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-asthma-allergy","category-sunshine-vitamin","tag-allergy","tag-asthma","tag-camargo","tag-cohort-study","tag-controversy","tag-cord-blood","tag-diagnosis-of-asthma","tag-gale","tag-respiratory-infection","tag-vitamin-d"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1589"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1589\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wjst.de\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
