Association of Vitamin D3 levels and Prevalence of Cardiovascular morbidity in Type 2 Diabetes in a peripheral health institution

Lokesh Chaudhary, Anshul Kumar

Abstract :

A number of previous studies reflect a close association of low levels of l25–hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D] and diseases like insulin resistance (1)metabolic syndrome (2,3), type 2 diabetes(4–6), and cardiovascular disease(CVD) (7). However the exact relation of vitamin D3 levels with the development of cardiovascular morbidity needs to be evaluated. There has been biased data in the past and many studies have varied conclusions regarding the association of the two entities (8,9). Since prevalence of Vit D3 deficiency as well as type2 diabetes is quite high in our setting, we tried and carried out this single centre prospective study to look into the association of cardiovascular morbidity and the levels of vitamin D3 at our peripheral health institute.
