The average values ± standard deviation of the age, weight, BMI, Ab. perimeter, basal glycemia, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and blood pressure according to the serum vitamin D levels of the total population are shown. P is the value of statistical significance of the comparison (ANOVA test) between vitamin D levels (deficient, insufficient, and sufficient) that is representative if it is less than 0.05. The averages in the same row that do not share the same letter of superscript are different. BMI = body mass index; Ab. perimeter = abdominal perimeter; BP = blood pressure in mmHg.
