PTH, parathyroid hormone; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; HOMA-β, homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function. Model 1: values of β and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using the multivariate linear regression models without adjustment for variables. Model 2: values of β and 95% CI were calculated using the multivariate linear regression models and adjusted for age, sex, season, BMI, 25-OH-D3, Ca, and P.
