Abstract
- The role of serum vitamin D (Vit D) in cardiometabolic and muscle health remains unclear. The study aimed to evaluate associations of Vit D and factors of healthy aging among community-living middle-aged and older people in Taiwan. Analytic data on 1839 community-living older adults were excerpted from I-Lan Longitudinal Aging Study. All participants were collected demographic characteristics, serum Vit D, functional assessment, and cardiometabolic risk factors. The prevalence of Vit D insufficiency and deficiency in this study was 50.5% and 33.6%, respectively. Among 617 participants with Vit D deficiency, 72.3% of them were women. In multivariate logistic regression, the independent risk factors of Vit D deficiency were male gender (odds ratio [OR]: 0.266; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.213–0.333; P
