The Claim
In older mobility-limited adults, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration is positively associated with skeletal muscle vitamin D receptor protein levels, with a correlation coefficient of 0.67 (P=0.0028), indicating that higher circulating vitamin D levels correspond to greater VDR protein expression in muscle tissue.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In older adults who have trouble moving around, higher levels of vitamin D in the blood are linked to more vitamin D receptors in their muscles — meaning the more vitamin D they have, the more of these muscle sensors they seem to have.

What the research says
1 studyThe study found that older adults with higher levels of vitamin D in their blood also had more vitamin D receptors in their muscles, just like the claim says.
