Vitamin D and progression of carotid intima-media thickness in HIV-positive Canadians

Objectives Based on a growing body of evidence implicating low vitamin D status in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), we hypothesized that in Canadian HIV‐positive adults, low 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration would be associated with increased subclinical vascular disease progression. Methods We prospectively studied the relationship between baseline 25(OH)D and subsequent progression of carotid intima‐media thickness...
