25(OH)D indicates 25‐hydroxyvitamin D; ACEi, angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; Ca, calcium; CI, confidence interval; DM, diabetes mellitus; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; IPD, individual participant data; PTH, parathyroid hormone; PWV, pulse wave velocity; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SMD, standardized mean difference.

a

Data only from studies measuring baseline carotid‐femoral PWV.

b

Or on dialysis.
