Model 1 is adjusted for age, sex, and smoking status. Model 2 is adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, and comorbidities. Data are presented as frequencies (%) and odds ratio (OR) (95% CI); BMI, body mass index; 25(OH)D, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D; p < 0.05 considered significant (shown in boldface).
