Effect of waist circumference on the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and serum lipids: results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001-2006.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the interaction between waist circumference (WC) and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) level in their associations with serum lipids.

Design

Cross-sectional study. The associations of serum 25(OH)D with total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), LDL-C:HDL-C and TAG were examined using multiple linear regression. Effect modification by WC was assessed through cross-product interaction terms between 25(OH)D and WC categories (abdominal overweight, 80-<88 cm in females/94-<102 cm in males; abdominal obesity, ≥88 cm in females/≥102 cm in males).

Setting

The US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey waves 2001-2006.

Subjects

Non-pregnant fasting participants (n 4342) aged ≥20 years.

Results
