Hypertension (HTN) or high blood pressure is one of the most chronic and deadliest disorders in the world. There are many risk factors responsible for HTN which include age, race, using tobacco, high salt intake, etc. One of the risk factors we would like to highlight is low vitamin D levels. While there is strong evidence that Vitamin D plays an important role in maintaining bone and muscle health, there has been recent debate regarding its role in hypertension. However, there are many studies that have shown an indirect relation between 25-hydroxyvitamin D serum level and blood pressure. However, we suggest that more studies, especially randomised trials, should be conducted.
高血压（HTN）或高血压是世界上最常见的慢性和致命疾病之一。导致高血压的风险因素有很多，包括年龄、种族、吸烟、高盐摄入等。我们想强调的一个风险因素是维生素 D 水平低。虽然有强有力的证据表明维生素 D 在维持骨骼和肌肉健康方面发挥着重要作用，但最近关于其在高血压中的作用存在争议。然而，许多研究表明 25 - 羟基维生素 D 血清水平与血压之间存在间接关系。不过，我们建议应该进行更多的研究，尤其是随机试验。
