Archives of Internal Medicine reported in its Junes issue that men with lower levels of vitamin D in the body refer to higher risk group of heart attack, namely myocardial infarction.

Edward Giovannucci, M.D., Sc.D. (Harvard School of Public Health and Brigham and Womens Hospital, Boston) and colleagues made a research as a result of which it appeared that deaths because of cardiovascular disease happened more frequently in higher latitudes and during the winter months. The described weather is when the sun shines not very often. The scientists told that deaths are less frequent at higher altitudes.

The weather, namely sunshine here is one of the factors that influence on the quantity of Vitamin D that human receives.

The main finding of this research was that men who had a vitamin D level of 15 nanograms per milliliter of blood or less ( which corresponds to lack of vitamin D or its deficiency) had a higher risk of heart attack compared to those with 30 nanograms per milliliter of blood (vitamin D sufficiency).

Death because of heart attack is one of the adverse effects of vitamin D deficiency, which is more likely at higher latitudes, and during the winter at lower altitudes.

However although researchers do know that vitamin D impacts the body in ways that decrease the risk of heart attack and heart diseases.
