Abstract
In a cross-sectional, population-based study we measured casual, seated blood pressure with a random-zero sphygmomanometer and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-(OH) sub(2)D) with a protein-binding assay in 373 women aged 20-80 y. 1,25-(OH) sub(2)D, an active metabolite that regulates serum calcium, was associated significantly and positively with systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure after adjustment for age, Quetelet's index (a measure of obesity), and current thiazide use. A model including age, Quetelet's index, current thiazide use, and 1,25-(OH) sub(2)D explained 37% of the variability in systolic blood pressure observations, of which 7% of variability was explained by 1,25-(OH) sub(2)D.
