  • Symptoms such as fatigue and myalgia were strongly associated with low serum vitamin D levels.
  • The study involved 168 patients over three months, correlating symptoms with serum vitamin D levels.
  • Findings suggest the need for higher optimal vitamin D levels than currently accepted global references.
