Abstract Background Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components. However, it is unclear whether a low concentration of vitamin D is the cause or consequence of these health conditions. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the association of vitamin D concentrations and its genetic risk scores (GRSs) with MS and its component diseases, such as T2D, in middle-aged and elderly participants from rural eastern China. Methods A subset of 2393 middle-aged and elderly individuals were selected from 70,458 participants of the Nantong Chronic Diseases Study of 2017–2018 in China. We used two 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) synthesis single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (DHCR7-rs12785878 and CYP2R1-rs10741657) and two 25(OH) D metabolism SNPs (GC-rs2282679 and CYP24A1-rs6013897) for creating GRSs, which were used as instrumental variables to assess the effect of genetically lowered 25(OH) D concentrations on MS and T2D based on the Wald ratio. F statistics were used to validate that the four SNPs genetically determined 25(OH) D concentrations. Results Compared to vitamin D sufficient individuals, individuals with vitamin D insufficiency had an odds ratio (OR [95% confidence interval {CI}]) of MS of 1.30 (1.06–1.61) and of T2D of 1.32 (1.08–1.64), individuals with vitamin D deficiency had an ORs (95% CI) of MS of 1.50 (1.24–1.79) and of T2D of 1.47 (1.12–1.80), and those with vitamin D severe deficiency had an ORs (95% CI) of MS of 1.52 (1.29–1.85) and of T2D of 1.54 (1.27–1.85). Mendelian randomization analysis showed a 25-nmol/L decrease in genetically instrumented serum 25(OH) D concentrations using the two synthesis SNPs (DHCR7 and CYP2R1 genes) associated with the risk of T2D and abnormal diastolic blood pressure (DBP) with ORs of 1.10 (95%CI: 1.02–1.45) for T2D and 1.14 (95%CI: 1.03–1.43) for DBP. Conclusions This one sample Mendelian randomization analysis shows genetic evidence for a causal role of lower 25(OH) D concentrations in promoting of T2D and abnormal DBP in middle-aged and elderly participants from rural China.

Abstract Background: Vitamin D deficiency is common around the world, but the association between vitamin D deficiency with metabolic syndrome and its associated diseases is unclear.Methods: A subset of 2393 participants from the Nantong Chronic Diseases Study (NCDS) of 2017-2018 were included in this study.The risk of MS and its associated diseases from low vitamin D levels were assessed by genetic scores using two 25(OH)D synthesis single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (DHCR7-rs12785878 and CYP2R1-rs10741657), one transport SNP (GC-rs2282679) and one catabolism SNP (CYP24A1-rs6013897).Results: Odds Ratios (ORs) for decreased risk of MS and type 2 diabetes (T2D) was 0.73 and 0.79 in the deficient, 0.53 and 0.67 in the insufficient, and 0.54 and 0.60 in the sufficient categories of serum vitamin D levels, respectively. Mendelian randomization analysis showed per 25nmol/L higher genetically instrumented serum 25(OH)D concentration using the two synthesis SNPs: DHCR7+CYP2R1 genes, associated with a 7% lower risk of T2D. The highest tertile vs the lowest tertile of genetic scores using the three SNPs of DHCR7+CYP2R1+GC genes showed a 10% lower risk of T2D. Also, the group with higher genetic scores among these two and three SNPs were both associated with lower risk of abnormal diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (P=0.0162 and 0.0045 respectively).Conclusions: Our Mendelian randomization analysis showed no genetic evidence for a causal role of lower vitamin D level in the development of MS, but showed a causal role in the development of T2D and DBP in middle-aged and elderly participants from rural China.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a complex metabolic disorder like hyperglycemia, obesity, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Vitamin D controls genes associated with regulation of insulin and renin production. The aim of this study was to analyze the relation between total levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and the incidence of MS in  type 2 DM patients.Methods: This case control study was conducted from October to November 2018 in Dr Moewardi Hospital Surakarta in 84 people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. All subjects were 34-75 years old. The research data were analyzed with a 2x2 test table to determine the odd ratio (OR) of each study variable, then multivariate analysis with logistic regression then continued.Results: The mean total level of 25(OH)D is 18.01 ± 6.10 ng/dl. Bivariate and multivariate OR analysis showed that poor glycemic control with the incidence of MS (OR: 11.154; 95% Cl: 3.933-31.631; p = 0.001); female sex (OR : 1.788; 95% Cl: 0.750-4.261; p = 0.188); age < 50 year (OR: 1.644; 95% Cl: 0.614-4.404; p = 0.321); and  total  25(OH)D deficiency (OR: 1.250; 95% Cl: 0.317-2.022; p = 0.637).Conclusion: total 25(OH)D level is not associated with the incidence of MS in the type 2 DM patients. Further study was needed using by healthy group control to explain the role of vitamin D in type 2 DMKeywords: type 2 DM, metabolic syndrome, 25(OH)D

Abstract. Background: Although inadequate vitamin D and altered parathyroid hormone (PTH) are implicated in deranged glucose metabolism and risk of future diabetes, their role in regulating glucose homeostasis in established cases of diabetes is unclear. We aimed to (i) evaluate vitamin D status, and (ii) determine if vitamin D and PTH were associated with parameters of glucose homeostasis in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients from Meghalaya, India. Methods: We determined 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) and PTH concentrations in 251 T2D patients (not on insulin), and examined their associations with the following parameters of glucose homeostasis: fasting blood sugar (FBS), post-prandial blood sugar (PPBS), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting insulin (FI), homeostasis model assessments of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and β-cell function (HOMA-β). Results: None of the patients had adequate vitamin D (mean 25-OH-D = 19.3 ng/mL); 47.8% patients were deficient (25-OH-D < 20 ng/mL), while 52.2% were insufficient (25-OH-D < 30 ng/mL) vitamin D. Significant ( P < 0.05) univariate associations were observed between: 25-OH-D and FI ( r = 0.14); 25-OH-D and HOMA-β ( r = 0.13); PTH and FI ( r = −0.18), and PTH and HOMA-β ( r = −0.11). However these associations disappeared after controlling for potential confounders. The 25-OH-D and PTH levels were not associated with any of the tested parameters of glucose homeostasis. Conclusion: There was widespread prevalence of vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency in our sample T2D patients. However, neither vitamin D nor PTH appeared to play a major role in influencing glucose homeostasis in this present selection of T2D cases.
