Values are expressed as the mean ± SD or n (%). 25(OH)D = 25-hydroxyvitamin D; AI = adequate intake; BMI = body mass index; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein–cholesterol; HOMA-IR = homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance; QUICKI = quantitative insulin sensitivity check index; SBP = systolic blood pressure; SD = standard deviation; TC = total cholesterol; TG = triglyceride; WC = waist circumference.

p values between deficiency group and sufficiency group were obtained by t test for log transformed variable.

p values between deficiency group and sufficiency group were obtained by χ2 test.

Metabolic risk score (z-score) was calculated as the sum of the five z-scores (BMI, SBP, TG, HDL-C, and HOMA-IR).
