Association between carotid atherosclerosis, carotid plaque, CIMT and vitamin D status, among patients those with or without abdominal obesity using abdominal fat CT scan and WC in male
Vitamin D | |||
---|---|---|---|
Insufficiency | Deficiency | ||
Visceral obesity (visceral fat ≥100 cm2) | Carotid atherosclerosis | 1.22 (0.78–1.90) |
1.35 (0.86–2.11) |
Carotid plaque | 1.50 (0.96–2.34) | 1.59 (1.02–2.48) |
|
Increased CIMT | 1.00 (0.60–1.67) | 1.23 (0.74–2.04) | |
Non visceral obesity (visceral fat <100 cm2) | Carotid atherosclerosis | 0.73 (0.30–1.79) | 0.50 (0.20–1.22) |
Carotid plaque | 0.76 (0.32–1.81) | 0.50 (0.21–1.20) | |
Increased CIMT | 1.00 (0.33–3.01) | 0.69 (0.22–2.13) | |
Visceral obesity (WC ≥90 cm) | Carotid atherosclerosis | 1.57 (0.80–3.06) | 1.51 (0.77–2.97) |
Carotid plaque | 1.82 (0.94–3.54) | 1.48 (0.76–2.89) | |
Increased CIMT | 1.63 (0.75–3.54) | 1.61 (0.73–3.53) |
