Globally, hypertension represents a major public health problem. The association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels and hypertension remains unclear. The current study aimed to investigate the association between serum 25(OH)D levels and hypertension among adults in Sudan.
A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among adults in North Sudan. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected using a questionnaire and face-to-face interviews. Serum 25(OH)D was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Multivariate logistic regression and multiple linear regression analyses were performed.
Of the total of 391 participants, 202 (51.7%) were females. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) of participants' ages was 45(32-55) years. Of the total, 219(56.0%) had hypertension. The median (IQR) of serum25(OH)D was 13.3(9.9-19.7) ng/mL, and 295 (75.4%) participants had vitamin D deficiency (< 20 ng/mL). In multivariable logistic regression, the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) for age = 1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI)1.03‒1.061, the AOR for being female = 2.02, 95% CI, 1.12‒3.66, and body mass index was AOR = 1.09, 95% CI, 1.05‒1.14, all of which were significantly associated with hypertension. However, serum 25(OH)D levels were not associated with hypertension (AOR = 1.01, 95% CI 0.99‒1.05, P = 0.317). In multiple linear regression, while systolic blood pressure was negatively associated with 25(OH)D (coefficient = - 0.28, P = 0.017), there was no significant association between serum 25(OH)D level and diastolic blood pressure (coefficient = - 0.10, P = 0.272) or mean blood pressure (coefficient =-0.03, P = 0.686).
The current study revealed a negative association between vitamin D and systolic blood pressure. The mechanism of such an association needs further study.
全球范围内,高血压是一个主要的公共卫生问题。25-羟维生素 D(25[OH]D)水平与高血压之间的关系仍不清楚。本研究旨在探讨苏丹成年人血清 25(OH)D 水平与高血压之间的关系。
这是一项在北苏丹进行的基于社区的横断面研究。使用问卷和面对面访谈收集社会人口统计学和临床数据。使用酶联免疫吸附试验测量血清 25(OH)D。进行多变量逻辑回归和多元线性回归分析。
在总共 391 名参与者中,有 202 名(51.7%)为女性。参与者的年龄中位数(四分位距 [IQR])为 45(32-55)岁。总共 219 名(56.0%)患有高血压。血清 25(OH)D 的中位数(IQR)为 13.3(9.9-19.7)ng/mL,295 名(75.4%)参与者维生素 D 缺乏(<20ng/mL)。在多变量逻辑回归中,年龄的调整后优势比(AOR)为 1.05,95%置信区间(CI)为 1.03-1.061,女性的 AOR 为 2.02,95%CI 为 1.12-3.66,体重指数的 AOR 为 1.09,95%CI 为 1.05-1.14,均与高血压显著相关。然而,血清 25(OH)D 水平与高血压无关(AOR=1.01,95%CI 0.99-1.05,P=0.317)。在多元线性回归中,收缩压与 25(OH)D 呈负相关(系数=-0.28,P=0.017),而血清 25(OH)D 水平与舒张压(系数=-0.10,P=0.272)或平均血压(系数=-0.03,P=0.686)之间无显著关联。
本研究显示维生素 D 与收缩压之间存在负相关。这种关联的机制需要进一步研究。
