(1) Values are means incorporating sample weights and adjusted for clusters and strata of the complex sample design of NHANES 2003–2006. (2) 25(OH)D: 25-hydroxyvitamin D; corrected total calcium: calcium corrected for serum albumin; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation; HbA1c: glycohemoglobin; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein.
