There are 3 participants missing vitamin D for a total of 2,266, 1 participant missing PTH for a total of 2,268, and 7 participants missing calcium for a total of 2,262.

25 (OH) vitamin D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D; BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; PTH, parathyroid hormone; SBP, systolic blood pressure.

Per s.d. greater (25-OH-vitamin D, per 11.8 μg/l greater; intact PTH per 27.7 pg/ml greater, phosphorus per 0.48 mg/dl greater, and calcium per 0.43 mg/dl).

Age, sex, race/ethnicity, field center, and season at Y2 exam.

Model 2 plus eGFR, BMI, smoking, physical activity, diabetes, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and lipid medication use.

Model 3 plus SBP, DBP, and antihypertensive medication use.
