  2. b unadjusted and per 1000 person-years
  3. c SD 25(OH) D = 8.4 ng/mL;To covert 25(OH) D from ng/mL to nmol/L, multiply by 2.496
  4. d Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, race/center, educational, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and APOE ε4 genotype
  5. e Model 2: Model 1 plus systolic blood pressure, use of hypertension medication, total and HDL cholesterol, use of cholesterol medications, diabetes, coronary heart disease, and estimated glomerular filtration rate
  6. f Model 3: Model 2 plus serum parathyroid hormone, calcium, and phosphorus concentrations
