The association between tobacco smoke exposure and vitamin D levels among US general population, 2001-2014: temporal variation and inequalities in population susceptibility.

ABSTRACT: Tobacco smoking is endocrine-disrupting and may interfere with vitamin D endocrine systems (VDES), but supporting evidence is limited and inconsistent. Also, there is a lack of evidence on whether the association between tobacco smoke exposure and VD levels exhibit temporal variation. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was used to evaluate the association between tobacco smoke exposure and VD levels among US general participants from 2001 to 2014. We examined the linear association between serum cotinine and 25(OH)D concentrations, as well as relationship between tobacco smoke exposure categories (active, passive, non-smoking) with VD status (deficiency, inadequacy, sufficiency, intoxication), and assessed whether specific gender, age (3-11, 12-19, 20-59, ≥ 60 y
