A link between chronic lung disease and low Vitamin D levels is the focus of a new study just started by the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research.
A The Kids for Child Health Research study has uncovered a new link between vitamin D levels and asthma.
Research has shown that vitamin D levels can have an impact on many aspects of a child's health, including lung growth, language development and eating patterns
Australian researchers have found that exposure to measured doses of ultraviolet light, such as sunlight, could reduce asthma.

Felix was one of 195 children to take part in Dr Debbie Palmer’s research into sunlight exposure, vitamin D and eczema.
For decades Aussies have been told to minimise sun exposure to prevent skin cancer - now researchers at Telethon Kids are challenging that message.
Humans obtain most of their vitamin D through the exposure of skin to sunlight
It has been hypothesized that vitamin D deficiency (VDD) contributes to the development of food sensitization (FS) and then food allergy.
The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is increasing and has been linked to obstructive lung diseases including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
