Abstract
BACKGROUND: Vitamin D deficiency increases risk of cardiovascular diseases, arterial stiffness, and endothelial dysfunction. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the impact of vitamin D supplementation on arterial stiffness. METHODS: A comprehensive search of the databases of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, and EMBASE was performed from inception through November 2015. The inclusion criterion was RCTs that assessed the impact of cholecalciferol supplementation in adults on the surrogate markers of arterial stiffness (aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx)). Outcome was the pooled mean difference (MD) of PWV and AIx between the vitamin D supplementation (intervention) group and placebo. RESULTS: The initial search yielded 1164 articles. Twenty-eight articles underwent full-length review and data were extracted from seven RCTs involving totally 547 participants. Dose of cholecalciferol supplementation varied from 1000 IU/day to 120,000 IU/month of cholecalciferol. Duration of treatment ranged from 2 to 12 months. There was no significant difference in the change of PWV (pooled MD = 0.18, 95% CI: -0.17 to 0.52 or AIx (pooled MD = 2.39, 95% CI: -4.43 to 4.92) between the intervention group and placebo. CONCLUSIONS: There was no improvement of markers of arterial stiffness after vitamin D supplementation.
