Vitamin D, Thyroid Hormones and Cardiovascular Risk: Exploring the Components of This Novel Disease Triangle.

In the same population, we observed that patients with low vitamin D (deficient and insufficient groups) showed a trend toward higher TSH levels in comparison to patients who had adequate or optimal levels of vitamin D (1.8 ± 1.8 versus 1.4 ± 1.0), finding particularly evident in those with a severe hypovitaminosis D (< 10ng/L), although without reaching significance values (likely the number of patients enrolled, n = 120, needs to be increased) ( Table 1 ).
