Adequate vitamin D levels in the body are related to 32%. lower risk of uterine fibroids, according to research conducted by the US National Institutes of Health. Information is provided by Epidemiology.
The research was conducted in Washington, D.C. in a group of 1036 women aged 35 to 49 years. Women with blood levels of calcifediol (a vitamin D metabilite) above 20 ng / ml were much less likely to develop leiomyoma than those with insufficient levels.
The participants also completed questionnaires about being in the sun. After comparing the data, the researchers found that for women who spent more than an hour outdoors a day, the risk of fibroids was 40%. lower.
Vitamin D is formed in the skin mainly through exposure to ultraviolet radiation. To a lesser extent, we can provide it with food (including fatty fish, eggs and mushrooms) or dietary supplements (PAP).
