2. Associations between serum total 25‐OH vitamin D quintile and mortality.
Associations between serum total 25‐OH vitamin D quintile and mortality. Median 25‐OH vitamin D is shown for each quintile. Demographic risk factors were age and sex. Clinical risk factors were body mass index, smoking status (current, prior vs never), renal disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, family history of heart disease, prior myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, whether ejection fraction was measured, ejection fraction (<20%, 20–34%, 35–50%, >50%), and Duke5 score (0–5). The number of deaths in each quintile were 115 in quintile 1, 71 in quintile 2, 64 in quintile 3, 75 in quintile 4, and 76 in quintile 5. 25‐OH vitamin D indicates 25‐hydroxyvitamin D.
