Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation of vitamin D with essential hypertension and its target organ damages in the elderly.Methods In the retrospective study,365 elderly participants aged ≥ 60 years hospitalized in our department during January 2013 to February 2014 were involved,including 247 patients with confirmed essential hypertension(HT)and 118 patients without HT.Serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D[25(OH)D]levels were measured and compared between HT and non-HT group,and binary regression analysis was used to discuss potential influencing factors of HT.The damage index of vitamin D target organ was compared between vitamin D deficiency group(n=198)and vitamin D non deficiency group(n=49).Results The median serum 25(OH)D level of participants is 35.3 nmol/L,77.5%(283 cases)were in the insufficient vitamin D status.The level of 25(OH)D was significantly lower in HT group than in non-HT group(34.0 vs.38.7 nmol/L,P<0.05).There were not statistically significant differences between vitamin D insufficient group and sufficient group(P>0.05)in albumin/creatinine ratio,serum creatinine,estimated glomerular filtration rate,ankle-brachial index,pulse wave velocity,intima media thickness of carotid artery,Sokolow-Lyon index,cornell index and left ventricular mass index.The serum 25(OH)D level was significantly lower in CHD plus HT group than non-CHD(P<0.05).The 25(OH)D level was negatively correlated with coronary heart disease(B=-0.021,P=0.019).The serum 25(OH)D level was significantly lower in groups with double-and triple-vessel coronary artery disease than in non-CHD group(P<0.01).Conclusions Vitamin D insufficiency is common in the elderly.The serum 25(OH)D level is significantly lower in old patients with HT especially with stage 3 HT than in non-HT ones.The 25(OH)D level is lower in HT patients with comorbid CHD,and more obvious in HT patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease.An insufficient vitamin D status is not correlated with hypertensive target organ damages including kidney,peripheral vascular and left ventricular cardiac structure.
