J Kendrick, G Targher, G Smits, M Chonchol - Atherosclerosis, 2009 - Elsevier
OBJECTIVE: Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25 (OH) D] levels are inversely associated with
important cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. However, the association between 25
(OH) D levels and prevalent CVD has not been extensively examined in the general
population. METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of data from the Third
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988–1994) and examined the
association between serum 25 (OH) D levels and prevalence of CVD in a representative …
