Table 5 ORs (95 % CIs) for CAC by quartiles of serum vitamin D levels in men (n = 19,999)

From: High levels of serum vitamin D are associated with a decreased risk of metabolic diseases in both men and women, but an increased risk for coronary artery calcification in Korean men

  1. Differences were tested using multivariate-adjusted logistic regression analysis
  2. Model 1: adjustment for age
  3. Model 2: adjustment for model 1 plus year of screening exam, center, smoking, alcohol, education, physical activity and season
  4. Model 3: adjustment for model 2 plus HTN, DM and CVD
  5. Model 4: adjustment for model 3 plus BMI, SBP, glucose and LDL-C
  6. ORs odds ratios, CIs confidence intervals, CAC coronary artery calcification
