Association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin d and myeloperoxidase: A cross-sectional study of a general population in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Several studies have found a strong association between cardiovascular diseases and myeloperoxidase (MPO) as a marker of oxidative stress. Although the anti-inflammatory effects of vitamin D in adults have been validated, evidence about the relationship between MPO and 25(OH)D is lacking. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between MPO and 25(OH)D in the general Chinese population.

Methods

From November 2018 to August 2019, a total of 6414 subjects were enrolled in a tertiary referral hospital in China, which included 3,122 women and 3,292 men. The dependent and independent variables were MPO and 25(OH)D, respectively. The confounders included age, sex, body mass index, waist-hip ratio, smoking status, alcohol drinking status, calcium, and parathyroid
