BACKGROUND: In cross-sectional studies, low serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D are associated with higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and disease.
The evidence is presented through a number of topics reflecting the care pathway and has been categorized into secondary publications (Cochrane systematic reviews, systematic reviews, reviews and meta-analyses), interventional studies (randomized control trials and clinical control trials) and observational studies (cohorts, case control trials, population based cross-sectional studies, comparative studies, qualitative surveys and case reports or series).
