The relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and dyslipidemia risk: insights from a study of elderly Chinese diabetic foot ulcer patients
In Chinese elderly DFU patients aged ≥60 years, serum vitamin D levels are dose-dependently negatively correlated with the risk of abnormal TG. However, this retrospective observational study only identifies an association, not causality, due to observational design limitations. Nevertheless, assessing elderly DFU patients' vitamin D status may aid management, requiring verification via prospective studies or RCTs.
