Higher Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Is Associated with Lower All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality among US Adults with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Aims: We aimed to assess the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study based on the US National Health and Nutrition Examinat...

description Aims: We aimed to assess the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study based on the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001–2016 on adults aged ≥20 years. NAFLD was determined as a US Fatty Liver Index score ≥ 30 in the absence of other liver conditions. Weighted Cox proportional hazards regression models were applied to explore the relationship between serum 25(OH)D levels and mortality. Results: 898 all-cause deaths and 305 cardiovascular deaths were recorded over a median follow-up of 8.7 years. Compared with those in the severe deficiency group (below 25.0 nmol/L), the fully adjusted HRs and 95% CIs of NAFLD patients with sufficient serum 25(OH)D concentrations (≥75.0 nmol/L) were 0.36 (0.22, 0.60) for all-cause mortality and 0.14 (0.07, 0.29) for cardiovascular mortality. Each one-unit increase in the natural log-transformed serum 25(OH)D concentration was related to a 41% lower risk for all-cause deaths (HR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.46, 0.77) and a 65% lower risk for cardiovascular deaths (HR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.22, 0.58). Conclusions: Among NAFLD patients, increased serum 25(OH)D levels were independently associated with reduced risk for all-cause and cardiovascular deaths.
