Those last two are not actually related.

This review was about testing supplementation of vitamin D, what you posted is mostly about correlation between serum levels and health outcomes, and those levels are largely about non-supplemented “natural” vitamin d.

The distinction is important because science has been trying to figure out whether vitamin d itself has the benefits, or if it is a marker for a larger salubrious process.
