It was kind of an amazing sequence of events.

The difference in lung function between the highest and lowest quintiles of vitamin D is substantial and greater than the difference between former and nonsmokers.

We would ask that the press respect our client's and his family's privacy and any further statements will be released through these offices.

We have advised our client that in the light of the police investigation it would be quite inappropriate for him to make any statement at the present time, other than to state that he categorically denies the allegations and will be contesting them vigorously.

The difference between the lowest and highest quintile of vitamin D levels [on the lung function tests] was 4 percent for both FEV1 and for FVC. This sounds small, but the changes seen in this study are large compared with most environmental factors that affect lung function.

Although there is a definite relationship between lung function and vitamin D, it is unclear if increases in vitamin D through supplements or dietary intake will actually improve lung function in patients with chronic respiratory diseases.

I'm in favor. The old limits were impractical to enforce. It seemed obvious that we needed a No Wake Zone.
