Serum vitamin D, blood pressure and hypertension risk in the HUNT study using observational and Mendelian randomization approaches.

What Was Tested

Researchers studied Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc in the context of low blood pressure and orthostatic hypotension in this observational study publication.

Limited studies have triangulated the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) or hypertension risk utilizing both observational and Mendelian randomization (MR) approaches.

The researchers employed data from the Norwegian Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) to conduct cross-sectional (n = 5854) and prospective (n = 3592) analyses, as well as one-sample MR (n = 86,324).
