Chronic diseases. This thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Biotechnology, 2022. Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (pages 34-52). Over the years, a broad spectrum of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including osteoporosis, asthma, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney and liver diseases have been linked to poor vitamin D levels. This review presents the circumstances leading to hypovitaminosis D and how such a deficiency can eventually independently induce the development of NCDs. PubMed and EMBASE databases were used to identify all studies that assessed the association between vitamin D and various NCDs up until February 2022, without language restrictions. Available evidence from observational studies suggests a strong link between vitamin D and many NCDs. However, underlying molecular mechanisms of vitamin D mode of action that contribute to the pathophysiology of these non-communicable diseases are often complex and not fully understood. Vitamin D and its biologically active analogs have shown therapeutic potential for treatment or prevention of some NCDs. However, large-scale vitamin D supplementation trials have yet to confirm such a causal relationship. Further studies are required to clearly establish and understand the nature of NCDs association with vitamin D.
