Association between serum vitamin D concentrations and Life's Essential 8 score in American adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study sought to use the latest Life's Essential 8 scoring tool to obtain information on the relationship between serum vitamin D concentration and adolescent cardiovascular health (CVH).

Material and methods

A total of 1,819 teenagers aged 16-19 were enrolled. Associations between serum vitamin D concentrations and CVH ratings were estimated using multiple linear regression and multinomial logistic regression methods, and the dose-response relationship was examined by restricted cubic spline analysis.

Results

After adjusting for all confounding factors, serum vitamin D concentrations were positively correlated with CVH scores (β = 0.12; 95% CI: 0.09-0.14, p < 0.001). Among the sex and race subgroups, the correlation was stronger in male, Mexic
