Implications of vitamin D levels or status for mortality in rheumatoid arthritis: analysis of 2001-2018 data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
This study reveals a strong negative correlation between 25(OH)D levels and overall mortality in individuals with RA. Notably, this association is particularly significant for mortality related to heart disease and malignant neoplasms. Targeted VitD supplementation should be emphasized, especially in individuals aged 60 years and older with RA. The proposed minimum threshold for adequate 25(OH)D levels in the RA population is 60 nmol/L.
