Subgroup analysis for the adjusted relative risks and 95% confidence intervals of 25(OH)D concentrations in the study participants, according to baseline hypertension and diabetes status.

Abbreviation: HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; CVD, cardiovascular disease; adjusted covariates as Model 3 included age, gender, body mass index, smoking, drinking, marital status, education level, job, sports activity, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol level. Baseline hypertension and diabetes status were used as the stratified factor and not included in each subgroup analysis* Test for trend with a single term representative of the medians of each quartile** Interaction test by comparing -2 likelihood ratio values between nested model and full model (adding three dummy variables and diabetes or hypertension status)Subgroup analysis for the adjusted relative risks and 95% confidence intervals of 25(OH)D concentrations in the study participants, according to baseline hypertension and diabetes status.
