Sex-related differences in the interrelations between the level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and blood lipids in healthy young subjects

详细

The correlations between the serum concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and the blood levels of total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), and apolipoprotein E were analyzed in young non-overweight men (n = 40) and women (n = 61) aged 14–23 years having no acute or active chronic diseases. The measured variables were standardized within sex and four local groups. Spearman rank correlation was observed between the concentration of 25(OH)D and TC in women (Rsp = 0.306, p = 0.017), and between the concentrations of 25(OH)D and TG in men (Rsp =–0.372, p = 0.018).
