Association between fat-soluble vitamin co-exposure patterns and blood pressure in people with hypertension: a cross-sectional study by Suming Dai, Ping Wang, Sijia Wang, Sijia Wang, Hong Chen, Zhixin Cui, Wenhai Lu, Wenhai Lu, Ziyi Zhou, Ziyi Zhou, Nan Zhang, Zhuo Wang, Tengfei Lin, Tengfei Lin, Yun Song, Yun Song, Lishun Liu, Lishun Liu, Xiao Huang, Ping Chen, Genfu Tang, Yong Duan, Yong Duan, Hao Zhang, Binyan Wang, Binyan Wang, Binyan Wang, Yan Yang, Yan Yang, Yan Yang, Zezhong Tian

“…However, the plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (VD3) levels were negatively associated with SBP (logarithmic 10 transformed) (β = −0.002, 95% CI: −0.004, 0); participants in the fourth α-tocopherol quartile had mean SBP levels that were 1.02% (95% CI: 0.43, 1.61%) greater than those in the lowest quartile (p for trend <0.01). In addition, no significant relationships were found between plasma VA/VK concentrations and blood pressure.DiscussionAlthough no significant association between fat-soluble vitamin co-exposure patterns and blood pressure was found, further analyses could imply that plasma α-tocopherol levels may offset the potential protective effect of plasma VD3 on blood pressure among hypertensive adults. …”
