Prevalence of metabolic syndrome with different serum vitamin D levels in middle-aged and older adults by Ya Zhao, Danting Su, Lichun Huang, Mengjie He, Dan Han, Dong Zhao, Yan Zou, Ronghua Zhang

“…Vitamin D and vitamin D3 concentrations were inversely associated with MetS prevalence (P trend<0.05), but not with vitamin D2, regardless of whether logistic regression models were adjusted for confounding factors. After adjusting for age, sex, physical activity level, smoking status, education level, annual per capita household income, and body mass index residuals, the highest tertile (Q3) of vitamin D (odds ratio [OR], 0.779; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.702–0.865) and vitamin D3 (OR, 0.787; 95% CI, 0.709–0.875) concentrations had a lower risk of MetS than the lowest tertile (Q1). …”
