Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Low vitamin D has been associated with poor arterial compliance in observational studies. Arterial stiffness has prognostic value for cardiovascular disease risk. The aim of this systematic review was to clarify the literature surrounding the use of vitamin D to ameliorate arterial stiffness. METHODS:We conducted a systematic review of the MEDLINE, Scopus and EMBASE databases for randomized controlled clinical trials investigating the effect of vitamin D supplementation on pulse wave velocity (PWV) and/or augmentation index (AI) as indicators of arterial stiffness. We meta-analysed data and calculated standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using inverse-variance models on RevMan v5.3 software. Study quality was assessed using a modified Jadad scale. RESULTS:A total of 607 unique records were identified, of which 18 satisfied our inclusion and exclusion criteria. Study quality was high, ranging from 9 to 12 (of 13). Study design in terms of vitamin D dosing protocol (range: 1000-5700 IU/day), follow-up times (range: 1-12 months), sample size (range: n = 29-183) and recruitment strategies varied markedly. Thirteen studies had data for meta-analysis. Vitamin D was associated with nonsignificant reductions in PWV [SMD = -0·10; 95% CI: -0·24, 0·04; P = 0·17; n = 806 from ten studies] and AI [-0·15; -0·32, 0·02; 0·08; n = 551 from eight studies]. DISCUSSION:There is inconsistent evidence to suggest that vitamin D supplementation improves indicators of arterial stiffness. This may be attributable to the heterogeneity in study design. Therefore, large and well-designed randomized studies are required to determine the casual relationships between vitamin D and arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk.
