Higher blood levels of vitamin D are associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer, according to a large, 1248-case study published today in the British Medical Journal (BMJ). Participants with the highest levels of blood vitamin D concentration had a nearly 40% decrease in colorectal cancer risk compared to those with the lowest levels of vitamin D.
The study, led collaboratively by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC, Lyon, France) and Imperial College of London (London, UK) and funded by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), is the largest ever on the topic, and one of the first on European populations. The results confirm previous findings from smaller studies based mostly on North American populations.
