25(OH)D = 25-hydroxyvitamin D; CV = cardiovascular; OR = odds ratio; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval; Q = 25(OH)D quartile.

Adjusted model 1: controlled for age, season, white race, sex, and country (Korea, UK, US, or other), except for diabetes mellitus, which controls for age, white race, sex, and season only.

Adjusted model 2: controlled for same as model 1 plus body mass index.
