Vitamin D is linked with proper immune system function, and insufficient levels of vitamin D could contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, although no firm scientific conclusions have yet been reached.

The risks associated with low levels of vitamin D are many, including weakened bones, elevated blood pressure, cancer, and autoimmune diseases as mentioned previously.
