Cardiovascular disease outcomes in relation to 25-hydroxyvitamin D and its seasonal variation: Results from the BiomarCaRE consortium
The present study does not support the hypothesis that seasonal increases in CVD are driven by short-term reductions in 25(OH)D. As in most observational studies, higher 25(OH)D concentrations were inversely associated with CVD.
