Summary: This study found that vitamin D supplementation did not prevent statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) or reduce statin discontinuation, and the results were consistent across different pretreatment 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels.

Summary: The study found that concentrations of serum 25(OH)D below 20 ng/mL were associated with the development of cardiovascular disease, while concentrations higher than 50 ng/mL did not show significant association with cardiovascular disease.

Summary: The study found a sex-specific relationship between plasma 25(OH)D concentration and incident ADL disability in Chinese older adults. Participants with recommended vitamin D sufficiency may have better disability prognoses in both sexes.

Summary: This matched cohort study aimed to investigate the relationship between vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and post-stroke depression (PSD). The results revealed no significant link between VDD and PSD risk during the 3-month and 12-month follow-up periods. However, further extensive studies are necessary to explore the potential protective effects of vitamin D against PSD.

Summary: Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) affects up to half of CF patients by adulthood, primarily caused by pancreatic dysfunction. This study found that vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of developing CFRD in adults with CF, and maintaining a serum 25(OH)D concentration above 20 ng/mL may decrease this risk.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) using large-scale health data. The results showed that deficient vitamin D levels were associated with an increased risk of TMDs, suggesting that vitamin D deficiency may be a potential risk factor for TMD development.

Summary: The study found that individuals living in high poverty areas were more likely to develop atrial fibrillation, and those in intermediate poverty areas had a higher risk of AF compared to those in low poverty areas. This research helps understand the neighborhood-level drivers of AF disparities and works towards achieving equitable care.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data, vitamin D levels, and genetic polymorphisms of vitamin D metabolic pathway genes in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NH) neonates. The results showed that vitamin D deficiency was significantly increased in NH group. The TT genotype of rs12785878 and GT genotype of rs10877012 were found to be protective factors against vitamin D deficiency and NH.

Summary: This study used data from NHANES to investigate the relationship between weight change patterns across adulthood and the risk of incident asthma later in life. The study found that individuals changing from non-obese to obese and those who were stably obese had significantly higher risks of incident asthma. Maintaining normal weight during adulthood may be important for preventing asthma in later life.

Summary: Multiple epidemiological studies have suggested an association between low vitamin D levels and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. This study found a non-linear relationship between serum 25(OH)D concentrations and the risk of type 2 diabetes, as well as additive interactions between serum 25(OH)D and gender, overweight/obesity, and physical activity.

Summary: Vitamin D is important for bone metabolism and plays a role in regulating calcium and phosphate levels in the body. It has been found to have an impact on cardiovascular disease, with evidence of vitamin D receptors in the cardiovascular system. This study examined the relationship between vitamin D levels and hospitalization for heart failure, overall mortality, and cardiovascular mortality.

Summary: This meta-analysis revealed that patients with statin-related myopathy have lower 25OHD levels and vitamin D supplementation can improve muscular intolerance in vitamin D-deficient patients with statin-related myopathy. These findings provide valuable insights for the prevention and treatment of statin-related myopathy.

Summary: The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the prognosis of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted on 9,739 DTC patients and propensity score matching was performed. Results showed that vitamin D intake was positively associated with all-cause and total cancer mortality in DTC. Further research is needed to clarify the effect of vitamin D supplementation on DTC.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the association between statin use and thyroid function, and found that statin use was associated with lower thyroid-stimulating hormone levels and improved thyroid function. Changes in total cholesterol served as a mediator of the association between statin use and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels.
