Fig 5. Correlation matrix among circulating miRNA expression and various clinical parameters in (A) patients with vitamin D deficiency and obesity and (B) patients with vitamin D deficiency, obesity, and diabetes mellitus.

Analysis was performed by Pearson’s Correlation, p ≤ 0.05. BMI: Body Mass Index; VitD: Vitamin D level (ng/ml); BSP: Brachial systolic pressure (mmHg), BDP: Brachial diastolic pressure (mmHg), ASP: Aortic systolic pressure (mmHg), ADP: Aortic diastolic pressure (mmHg), AP: Augmentation pressure (mmHg), Alx%: AP/pulse wave pressure; PWV: Pulse wave pressure (m/s).
