BACKGROUND: Reduced 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) metabolism and secondary hyperparathyroidism are common with lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and may contribute to cardiovascular disease and cancer risk. METHODS: We assessed for heterogeneity by baseline eGFR of the effects of vitamin D(3) on cardiovascular and cancer outcomes in the Vitamin D and Omega-3 Trial (VITAL). Participants were randomized to 2000 IU vitamin D(3) and/or 1 g Ω-3 fatty acids daily using a placebo-controlled, two-by-two factorial design (5.3 years follow-up). Primary study end points were incident major cardiovascular events and invasive cancer. Changes in serum 25(OH)D and parathyroid hormone (PTH) were examined. RESULTS: Baseline eGFR was available for 15,917 participants. Participants’ mean age was 68 years, and 51% were women. Vitamin D(3) resulted in higher serum 25(OH)D compared with placebo (difference in change 12.5 ng/ml; 95% CI, 12 to 13.1 ng/ml), without heterogeneity by eGFR (P interaction, continuous eGFR=0.2). Difference in change in PTH between vitamin D(3) and placebo was larger with lower eGFR (P interaction=0.05): –6.9 (95% CI, –10.5 to –3.4), –5.8 (95% CI, –8.3 to –3.4), –4 (95% CI, –5.9 to –2.2), and –3.8 (95% CI, –5.6 to –2) pg/ml for eGFR |
