Significant bivariate and partial correlations between serum levels of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) and cardiometabolic risk factors among patients with psychosis
| Bivariate r for 25-OHD level | Partial r for 25-OHD level | |
|---|---|---|
| Waist | −0.188** | −0.220** |
| BMI | −0.149* | −0.163* |
| Type 2 DM | −0.147* | −0.128 |
| MetS | −0.117* | −0.151* |
| Fasting glucose | −0.135* | −0.191** |
| HbA1c | −0.146** | −0.183** |
| Serum triglyceride | −0.133* | −0.160* |
| Serum total cholesterol | −0.128* | −0.144* |
| Systolic blood pressure | −0.084 | −0.134 |
| Diastolic blood pressure | −0.151** | −0.128 |
| CRP level | −0.206** | −0.211** |
Bivariate and partial correlations (r) between serum 25-OHD levels and cardiometabolic risk factors were examined using Pearson’s coefficients, with controlling for age, gender, ethnicity and season of 25-OHD blood sampling. The *values represent the significant difference with p <0.05, **with p < 0.01 and ***with p < 0.001
