Prevalence of Cardiovascular Risk Factors and the Serum Levels of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D in the United States

Abstract: Background: Results of several epidemiologic and clinical studies have suggested that there is an excess risk of hypertension and diabetes mellitus in persons with suboptimal intake of vitamin D. Methods: We examined the association between serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) and select cardiovascular disease risk factors in US adults. A secondary analysis was performed with data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a national probability survey conducted by the National C… Show more

“…It is worth noting that this study, conducted in Recife, northeastern Brazil, where the tropical climate predominates most of the time, showed a prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the elderly similar to the data from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 20. The prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in the present study was also lower than that reported for the French population, mainly for those above 60 years of age (80.3%),21 as well as for populations in northern India, near the Himalayas, where the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 83% and is associated with chronic stable angina 22.…”

“…20 Although we did not find any association between serum 25OHD and blood pressure, previous crosssectional studies 16,33 have documented an inverse relationship between serum 25OHD and blood pressure. In the cross-sectional analyses restricted to 12 644 people aged 20 years and above, mean (standard error) SBP was 3.0 (0.7) mm Hg lower (P ¼ 0.0004) and DBP was 1.6 (0.6) mm Hg lower (P ¼ 0.011) for participants in the highest quintile (25OHDX85.7 nmol l À1 ) compared with the lowest (25OHDo40.4 nmol l À1 ), after adjustment for age, sex, ethnicity and physical activity.…”

“…These findings are supported by results of some observational studies, 31,32 but not the others. 16,21,33 In the Longitudinal Ageing Study Amsterdam, serum PTH rather than serum 25OHD was associated with SBP or DBP, or prevalence of hypertension in 1205 men and women aged 65 years and older after adjustment of potential confounders. 31 The result was consistent with that of the Ranch Bernardo Study.…”

“…These findings cannot be entirely explained by differences in calcium intake and vitamin D status, and the possibility that skeletal resistance to PTH may be partly responsible has been suggested (23)(24)(25). Nevertheless, at least two lines of evidence suggest that hypovitaminosis D is common among black individuals and may be responsible for their higher PTH levels (26,27). Using NHANES III data, Martins et al (27) demonstrated that 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were lower in women and racial and ethnic minorities and in participants with diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.…”
