The study shows that people with low levels of Vitamin K are likely to suffer from asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and wheezing.

According to a study published in ERJ Open Research people with low levels of vitamin K in their blood are more likely to have impaired lung function and to suffer from asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and wheezing.

Vitamin K is found in leafy green vegetables, vegetable oils and cereal grains. It plays a role in blood clotting, and so helps the body to heal wounds, but researchers know very little about its role in lung health.

The study was by a team of Danish researchers at Copenhagen University Hospital and the University of Copenhagen.
