Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Deficiency and Insufficiency are Associated with Ankle-Brachial Index but not Arterial Stiffness in an Elderly Community-dwelling Chinese Population

Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Deficiency and Insufficiency are Associated with Ankle-Brachial Index but not Arterial Stiffness in an Elderly Community-dwelling Chinese Population

Vitamin D deficiency may increase arterial stiffness, a sub-clinical symptom of Target Organ Damage (TOD). This study aimed to investigate the associations between total serum vitamin D level and arterial stiffness assessed by brachial-ankle Pulse Wave Velocity (baPWV) and atherosclerosis assessed b...
