This correspondence extends the discussion by emphasizing the critical role of healthy building design in enhancing vitamin D levels, which is vital for immune function and ARI prevention. Many care home residents suffer from vitamin D deficiency due to limited sunlight exposure. Incorporating architectural elements such as large windows, skylights, and outdoor spaces can significantly increase natural light exposure, thereby boosting vitamin D levels and potentially reducing ARI susceptibility. Despite the benefits of supplementation, addressing environmental factors through healthy building design offers a sustainable, long-term strategy that aligns with public health goals of preventive care and environmental sustainability. Prioritizing such design principles in care home planning and renovation can enhance residents\u2019 health and resilience against infections like influenza and COVID-19.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/pubmed\/fdae254","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,14]],"date-time":"2024-09-14T03:52:28Z","timestamp":1726285948000},"page":"e480-e481","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Enhancing vitamin D levels in care homes: the role of healthy building design in preventing respiratory infections"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"47","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4695-8658","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andi Andre Pratama","family":"Putra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082909330858800_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/pubmed\/fdae178","article-title":"The effectiveness of interventions to reduce the transmission of acute respiratory infections in care homes: a systematic review","author":"Willcox","year":"2024","journal-title":"J Public Health"},{"key":"2025082909330858800_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"i6583","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.i6583","article-title":"Vitamin D supplementation to prevent acute respiratory tract infections: systematic review and meta-analysis of individual participant data","volume":"356","author":"Martineau","year":"2017","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"issue":"3","key":"2025082909330858800_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"266","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra070553","article-title":"Deficiency","volume":"357","author":"Holick","year":"2007","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"issue":"71","key":"2025082909330858800_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"843","DOI":"10.21608\/auej.2024.256510.1540","article-title":"The impact of architectural design on health and well-being","volume":"19","author":"El Fattah","year":"2024","journal-title":"J Al-Azhar Univ Engin Sector"},{"issue":"4","key":"2025082909330858800_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"776","DOI":"10.1080\/17452007.2023.2214347","article-title":"Improving infection prevention briefing through predictive predesign: a computational approach to architectural programming by evaluating socioecological risk factors","volume":"20","author":"Platt","year":"2024","journal-title":"Architect Engin Design Mngmt"}],"container-title":["Journal of Public Health"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jpubhealth\/article-pdf\/47\/3\/e480\/59096924\/fdae254.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jpubhealth\/article-pdf\/47\/3\/e480\/59096924\/fdae254.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,29]],"date-time":"2025-08-29T13:33:11Z","timestamp":1756474391000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jpubhealth\/article\/47\/3\/e480\/7755877"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,12]]},"references-count":5,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,12]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,29]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/pubmed\/fdae254","relation":{},"ISSN":["1741-3842","1741-3850"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1741-3842"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1741-3850"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2025,9]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,12]]}}}
