Asthma is a disease characterised by chronic inflammation of the airways leading to symptoms including periods of shortness of breath, wheezing and a tight chest due to airway narrowing in affected patients. Current data show that one in 12 adults are currently receiving treatment for asthma in the United Kingdom (UK), with the UK having some of the highest rates in Europe. In the winter, 30-40% of the UK population are vitamin D deficient with some asthma patients having significantly lower vitamin D levels compared to normal patients. Vitamin D has been shown to be involved in the development of immune-related disorders including asthma. Cross-sectional research has shown that reduced vitamin D levels are associated with reduced lung function, increased airway hyper-responsiveness and reduced response to glucocorticoids, suggesting vitamin D levels may also implicate asthma treatment. To date, there have been three randomised controlled trials (RCT) assessing the effect of vitamin D supplementation in adults with symptomatic asthma. These trials have not found a significant effect of vitamin D supplementation on asthma. However, these studies relied on high doses of vitamin D with long time periods between doses. There is a requirement for RCTs in adults with daily supplementation of lower doses of vitamin D as it has been suggested that daily supplementation is more effective for inducing non-classical actions of vitamin D. However, vitamin D has been found to significantly improve airway function as measured by forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) in adults supplemented with 100, 000 international units (IU) vitamin D intramuscularly plus 50, 000 IU oral vitamin D weekly. Therefore, the effect of daily dosing on lung function also requires investigation. Furthermore, these trials have focussed on clinical outcomes without investigating the cellular mechanisms affording protection.
