25(OH)D₃ status and plasma levels according to presence of cardiometabolic risk factors.

Central obesity: waist-to-height ration >0.5 [31]; elevated BP: systolic BP (SBP)≥130 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP (DBP)≥85 mm Hg; increased atherogenic risk: AIP≥0.11 [29]; and insulin resistance: QUICKI<0.322 were considered as factors indicated increased cardiometabolic risk. 0: no risk factor presented (n = 162); 1–2: subjects with 1 or 2 risk factors (n = 162); 3–4: subjects presenting 3 or 4 risk factors (n = 87); chi: chi-square; otherwise ANOVA p indicated; italics: statistical evaluation performed on logarithmically transformed data 25(OH)D3 status and plasma levels according to presence of cardiometabolic risk factors.
