 The study investigated the relationship between vitamin D levels and markers of inflammation in a population with a high intake of a marine diet. The results showed that participants who consumed more of the traditional Inuit diet had higher levels of vitamin D in their blood, as well as lower levels of two markers of inflammation, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, HSCRP, and Chitinase III like protein I, YKL-40. However, there was no correlation between vitamin D levels and another marker of inflammation, HSCRP. Additionally, the inverse relationship between vitamin D levels and YKL-40 levels was only observed in those consuming a greater amount of the traditional Inuit diet. These findings suggest that the traditional Inuit diet may have anti-inflammatory properties which are enhanced when combined with adequate vitamin D levels. This article was authored by L.K.
