Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide problem and many associations
with diseases are being discovered. Recently, there has been an
interest in the role that vitamin D plays in the inception and
progression of lung disease. Vitamin D and the Lung: Mechanisms and
Disease Associations delivers a concise, evidence-based review of
the evidence for a role of vitamin D in various lung disorders.
Divided into three sections, the first section of the book delivers
a review of how vitamin D deficiency emerged in human populations,
and gives a perspective on how humans evolved to maximize the
efficiency of production of vitamin D. The second section of the
book reviews aspects of vitamin D mechanisms on different immune
cells, lung tissue, and genetics that have potential impact on lung
disease. The third section follows with chapters on associations of
vitamin D with the risk for viral infections, asthma and allergies,
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis,
tuberculosis, and finally, lung cancer with an emphasis on ongoing
research and clinical issues and needs for future research in each
field. Written by an international group of expert authors, Vitamin
D and the Lung: Mechanisms and Disease Associations is an essential
text for researchers in the respiratory field and practicing
clinicians including internists, pulmonologists, and primary care
personnel.
