Vitamin D status affects the relationship between lipid profile and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The biological pathways through which vitamin D is involved in the regulation of systemic inflammation remain largely unknown.

Objective

The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of vitamin D status on the relationship between lipid profile and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in pregnant women.

Design

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), hs-CRP, and indicators of lipid profiles (total cholesterol, TC; triglyceride, TG; high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C; low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C), were measured in 2479 pregnant women during the second trimester. Potential confounding including maternal sociodemographic characteristics, perinatal health status, diet, and lifestyle was prospectively collected. Multiple regres
