This may be in part that we carefully adjusted for other confounding lifestyle variables such as physical activity and 2 measures of adiposity (BMI and waist circumference),” said senior study author Erin Michos, MD, MHS, associate professor of medicine and epidemiology and associate director of preventive cardiology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore. “We also were surprised that we did not see any association of low vitamin D with elevated LDL cholesterol in our overall sample. However, when we performed a sensitivity analysis looking at individuals who were not taking lipid-lowering therapy at the baseline exam or at any of the follow-up visits, we did see the association of low vitamin D with elevated LDL cholesterol.” Dr Michos and her colleagues measured lipids at baseline (1990-1992), in 1993-1994, and in 1996-1998. The mean follow-up was 5.2 years.
