Role of Vitamin A in prevention from infections, and malignancies, and in decreasing childhood mortality and morbidity.

Vitamin A is involved in a wide range of physiological processes such as embryonic development, vision, immunity and cellular differentiation and proliferation., and there is mounting evidence that it plays a beneficial role in the prevention and/or treatment of a wide range of diseases. In this brief review the known effects of vitamin D on immune function are described in relation to respiratory health. In fact, chronic VAD has been associated with histopathological changes in the pulmonary epithelial lining that disrupt the normal lung physiology predisposing to severe tissue dysfunction and respiratory diseases. 
 Summarize up-to-date information related to the effects of chronic VAD in the impairment of lung physiology and pulmonary disease which represent a major global health problem and provide an overview of possible pathways involved.
