Predictor	B	Exp (β)	p
Age (years) ^a	0.023	1.023	0.004^*
BMI (kg/m²) ^a	-0.009	0.991	0.678

* Factors with independent impact in generating vitamin D deficiency, after adjusting for confounding factors

^a Predictors were added in the model as continuous, scale measured variables

^b Predictors were added in the model as dichotomous variables

BMI—body mass index; CAD—Coronary artery disease; DM—diabetes mellitus; PVD—Peripheral vascular disease
