1) Fragestellung

• Welchen Einfluss hat das Alter eines Menschen auf den Verlauf der Infektion mit dem Coronavirus?
• Bedeutet hohes Alter = hohes Sterberisiko bei COVID-19?
• Welchen Einfluss hat der Vitamin-D-Spiegel auf den Verlauf?
• Bei welchem Alter und welchem Vitamin-D-Spiegel gibt es einen günstigen Verlauf?

2) Methode

• Observational study
• Epidemiology, no intervention
• Graphic No. 10 shows people over the age of 60 and in relation to vitamin D levels and course

3) Ergebnisse

In this presentation, graphic 10 is extracted and adapted from the overall view.
It is about COVID-19 patients who have had either a mild or serious course of the disease.

• The red window shows vitamin D levels below 20 ng / ml: there are only serious courses,
• The yellow window shows vitamin D levels of 20 - 30 ng / ml: both mild and serious courses,
• The dark green window shows vitamin D levels above 30 ng / ml: predominantly mild courses,
• The light green window shows vitamin D levels below 30 ng / ml linked with an age above (!) 70. There are no serious courses.

4) Folgerungen

The author El James Glicio from New Delhi, India concludes:

• "Clinical studies could provide more accurate results on vitamin D levels as the cause of COVID-19 severity."
• "Vitamin D supplementation at the local level could raise awareness of the benefits of fighting vitamin D infections."
• "This knowledge about how to fight infections like COVID-19 should be spread especially to vulnerable older people."
• Quote end

The preparation of Figure 10 also shows:

• With rising vitamin D levels, more mild courses are observed
• A vitamin D level below 20 ng / ml is associated with high risk
• A vitamin D level above 30 ng / ml and an age above 70 are associated with the best results.
• These results could be random.

However, a similar study comes to comparable results. (2)

• The apparently protective character for the age over 70 remains speculative:
• Has the elderly over 70 years been excluded from ventilation and so been of use to them?
• Is there less "cytokine storm" in people over 70?
• So far, this phenomenon has not been observed or sought.
