Quick Summary
In this cross-sectional study, participants with systemic lupus erythematosus who were vitamin D deficient had some cardiovascular risk factors that were worse, but some that were better, compared to participants who were not vitamin D deficient.
What was studied?
The associations between vitamin D deficiency and cardiometabolic risk factors in the context of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
The following risk factors were analyzed:
- 5 anthropometric outcomes (weight, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, waist-height ratio, BMI)
- Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels
- Serum lipid levels (HDL-C, LDL-C, triglycerides, total cholesterol)
- 5 cardiometabolic indexes (e.g., the Castelli index, which is calculated by dividing total cholesterol by HDL-C)
