Independent Association of Low Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D Levels With All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality
Harald Dobnig,Stefan Pilz,Hubert Scharnagl,Wilfried Renner,Ursula Seelhorst,Britta Wellnitz,Jürgen Kinkeldei,Bernhard O. Boehm,Gisela Weihrauch,Winfried Maerz +9 more
TL;DR: Low 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were significantly correlated with variables of inflammation, oxidative burden, and cell adhesion, independent of coronary artery disease, physical activity level, Charlson Comorbidity Index, variables of mineral metabolism, and New York Heart Association functional class.
