Figure 1 Adjusted hazards ratios for all-cause mortality, adjusted for demographics and cardiovascular risk factors, among different subgroups of the participants in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The risk for all-cause mortality is reported for individuals with serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels <15ng/ml compared with those with levels >30ng/ml. For each subgroup analysis, data were adjusted for each of the other variables; current smoking, month of year, and family history of cardiovascular disease were included in each subgroup analysis. BMI, body mass index; CHOL, cholesterol; CKD, chronic kidney disease; CRP, C-reactive protein; CVD, cardiovascular disease; DM, diabetes mellitus; HDL, high-density lipoprotein.
