Over the past few decades, the importance of vitamin D in non-skeletal actions has been studied, including the role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases, metabolic syndromes, cardiovascular disease, cancers, and all-cause mortality. Recent evidence has demonstrated an association between low vitamin D status and autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto\u2019s thyroiditis and Graves\u2019 disease, and impaired vitamin D signaling has been reported in thyroid cancers. This review will focus on recent data on the possible role of vitamin D in thyroid diseases, including autoimmune thyroid diseases and thyroid cancers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms18091949","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,12]],"date-time":"2017-09-12T10:40:04Z","timestamp":1505212804000},"page":"1949","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":184,"title":["The Role of Vitamin D in Thyroid Diseases"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Dohee","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Endocrinology, Department of Internal Medicine, Dankook University College of Medicine, Dandae-ro, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungnam 330-714, Korea"},{"name":"Department of Kinesiologic Medical Science, Graduate, Dankook University, Cheonan 330-714, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"355","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejim.2011.04.012","article-title":"Novel roles of vitamin D in disease: What is new in 2011?","volume":"22","author":"Makariou","year":"2011","journal-title":"Eur.
