- Abstract
Accumulating research suggests low-circulating vitamin D concentrations, i.e., 25-hydroxyvitamin-D [25(OH)D], may be associated with an increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome; however, previous studies have not accounted for parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. We examined the association of 25(OH)D and PTH with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in a community-based cohort of older adults.
