Childhood ALL survivors show higher prevalence of 25-OHD deficiency as compared to controls. The 25-OHD levels appear to be linked to indicators of endothelial and vascular dysfunction. Careful monitoring of 25-OHD balance may help to prevent cardiovascular diseases in childhood ALL survivors, characterized by high cardiovascular risk.
