Effect of Simvastatin and Atorvastatin on Serum Vitamin D and Bone Mineral Density in Hypercholesterolemic Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study

Table 3

Results of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, lumbar spine BMD, and femoral neck BMD in the simvastatin and atorvastatin groups. CI: confidence interval; 25OHD: 25-hydroxyvitamin D; BMD: bone mineral density.

Parameter	Simvastatin	Atorvastatin	Regression coefficient (95% CI)	value
Serum 25OHD	26.92 ± 13.36	31.47 ± 21.45	−4.55 (−14.12–5.07)	0.35
Lumbar spine BMD	1.09 ± 0.17	1.09 ± 0.14	0.004 (−0.8–0.09)	0.92
Femoral neck BMD	0.94 ± 0.18	0.92 ± 0.12	0.02 (−0.06–0.11)	0.57
