25(OH)D, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and triglycerides were log-transformed before analysis. Model 1: adjusted for age, sex (not for sex-stratified analysis), geographic location (Beijing/Shanghai), residential region (urban/rural), and visit date (April or May/June). Model 2: further adjusted for education (≤6, 7–9, or ≥10 years in school), physical activity (low, moderate, or high), smoking (current, former, or never), alcohol drinking (yes/no), family history of CVD (yes/no) and diabetes (yes/no), and self-reported CHD (yes/no) and stroke (yes/no). For fasting glucose, A1C, fasting insulin, and HOMA-IR, hypertension (yes/no) was included in the model. Model 3: further adjusted for inflammatory factors (CRP and IL-6, continuous variables). Model 4: further adjusted for BMI (not for waist circumference and obesity status-stratified analysis).
↵*4 participants were excluded with a missing value of fasting insulin; P for interaction between 25(OH)D and obesity status = 0.0363.
↵†23 participants were excluded with a missing value of HOMA-IR; P for interaction between 25(OH)D and obesity status = 0.0187.
↵‡P for interaction between 25(OH)D and sex = 0.0034.
↵§P for interaction between 25(OH)D and sex = 0.0027.
