Read More »Higher vitamin D levels appear to be associated with higher total cholesterol levels and higher HDL cholesterol levels, according to a new study presented at the American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) 65th Annual Scientific Sessions.1 Investigators looked 13 039 adults and found that higher 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) was cross-sectionally and prospectively associated with higher total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol levels and lower total cholesterol-to-HDL cholesterol ratio after considering factors such as diabetes and adiposity. “We wanted to see the association of low vitamin D with low HDL cholesterol and high total cholesterol-to-HDL cholesterol ratio, but I think we were most surprised to not find an association of vitamin D deficiency with elevated triglycerides, as has been noted in other studies. This may be in part that we carefully adjusted for other confounding lifestyle variables such as physical activity and 2 measures of adiposity (BMI and waist circumference),” said senior study author Erin Michos, MD, MHS, associate professor of medicine and epidemiology and associate director of preventive cardiology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore. “We also were surprised that we did not see any association of low vitamin D with elevated LDL cholesterol in our overall sample. However, when we performed a sensitivity analysis looking at individuals who were not taking lipid-lowering therapy at the baseline exam or at any of the follow-up visits, we did see the association of low vitamin D with elevated LDL cholesterol.” Dr Michos and her colleagues measured lipids at baseline (1990-1992), in 1993-1994, and in 1996-1998. The mean follow-up was 5.2 years.
