Notes: The data are expressed as the means ± SEMs * p-values of the association between menopausal status and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration using a general linear model after adjusting for age, education level, household income, marital status, residential region, subjective stress level, dietary supplement consumption, smoking status, alcohol consumption status, and physical activity. ** p-values for the interaction between menopausal status and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration using a multivariate logistic regression after adjusting for age, education level, household income, marital status, residential region, subjective stress level, dietary supplement consumption, smoking status, alcohol consumption status, and physical activity.
